The integral components of heat exchangers and in particular the tubes, tubesheets and
tube-to-tubesheet joints have vital roles in the proper functioning of this equipment. Several …

The problem of erosion due to water droplet impact has been a major concern for several
industries for a very long time and it keeps reinventing itself wherever a component rotates …

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 fabrication of microstructures on surfaces is an innovative approach to relieve slurry
erosion. Understanding the effect of the dimensions of the surface microstructure on slurry …

Different from the traditional research and design of new materials and coatings, three types
of surface microstructures including V-shape, U-shape, and ring-shape groove …

Laser-assisted manufacturing has been in the rise for advanced and additive manufacturing
purposes. Recently, laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) has emerged as a highly effective …

Damping of the impact pressure from liquid droplet impingement (LDI) on a wet wall was
studied by numerical simulation and experiment. The numerical simulation was carried out …

The evolution of surface profiles during erosion caused by the continuous impact of a liquid
jet was studied using a water-jet apparatus. In this study, we focused on the erosion …

In this study, the effect of the impact velocity of a droplet on the time-dependent force exerted
on the droplet and droplet pressure during high-speed [O (100 m/s)] liquid droplet …

In this paper, liquid droplet impingement (LDI) erosion on the groove roughness of
aluminum (A1070) is studied both experimentally and numerically, to understand the …
