Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

This paper provides a comprehensive review of published literatures concerning the fluid
mechanics and heat transfer mechanisms of liquid drop impact on a heated wall. The review …

Spray–wall interaction is an important process encountered in a large number of existing
and emerging technologies and is the underlying phenomenon associated with spray …

A liquid droplet dispensed over a sufficiently hot surface does not make contact but instead
hovers on a cushion of its own self-generated vapor. Since its discovery in 1756, this so …

Droplet impact behaviours are widely applied in a variety of domains including self-cleaning,
painting and coating, corrosion of turbine blades and aircraft, separation and oil repellency …

It has been recently shown that the presence of macrotextures on superhydrophobic
materials can markedly modify the dynamics of water impacting them, and in particular …

Ice accumulation poses a series of severe issues in daily life. Inspired by the nature,
superwettability surfaces have attracted great interests from fundamental research to anti …

The energy budget and dissipation mechanisms during droplet impact on solid surfaces are
studied numerically and theoretically. We find that for high impact velocities and negligible …

This review discusses how drops can levitate on a cushion of vapor when brought in contact
with a hot solid. This is the so-called Leidenfrost phenomenon, a dynamical and transient …
