Over the past decades, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) using aqueous urea sprays as
ammonia precursor has become the prevalent technique for NO x emission control in mobile …

Superhydrophobic material with photothermal conversion property is considered as a
promising candidate in practical application because of its double abilities: both …

Functional solid surfaces that can realize rapid shedding of liquid droplets have received
significant research interest due to their close relevance to many industrial applications …

The impact dynamic behavior of rainwater and the subsequent freezing process on the
transmission line cause significant damage to the power grid. Therefore, a good …

We extend a diffuse interface phase-field method for two-phase flow simulations so as to
include interfacial heat transfer and the thermal Marangoni effect. The set of governing …

Super-hydrophobic surfaces have been widely developed due to their unique properties,
such as adhesion reduction and corrosion inhibition. It is of great significance to explore …

Hypothesis Droplet wetting on a solid substrate is affected by the surface heterogeneity.
Introducing patterned wettability on the solid substrate is expected to engender anisotropic …

This study numerically investigates the effects of the Weber number (We) and cylinder-to-
droplet radius ratio (R*) on the impact dynamics of a low-viscosity droplet on a hydrophobic …

The maximum diameter of a drop impacting on a flat solid surface is studied theoretically
assuming axi-symmetric spreading without splashing. The energy balance between the …

In this study, we experimentally explored the impact outcomes of droplets under a wide
range of Weber numbers (0.2≤ We≤ 200) and contact angles (91≤ θ≤ 162). Five impact …
