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 …

Research on liquid drop impact, especially during the past two decades, has been motivated
by a need for better predictive capability in many industries. This paper will review published …

The impact and splash of liquid drops on solid substrates are ubiquitous in many important
fields. However, previous studies have mainly focused on spherical drops while the non …

Droplet impact onto liquid pools is a canonical scenario relevant to numerous natural
phenomena and industrial processes. However, despite their ubiquity, multi-fluid systems …

X-ray diagnostics have the potential for making quantitative measurements in many
flowfields where optical diagnostics are challenging, especially multiphase flows. In the past …

When a liquid drop impacts a solid surface, air is generally entrapped underneath. Using
ultrafast x-ray phase-contrast imaging, we directly visualized the profile of an entrapped air …

The splashing of a drop impacting onto a liquid pool produces a range of different sized
microdroplets. At high impact velocities, the most significant source of these droplets is a thin …

We present new observations from an experimental investigation of the classical problem of
the crown splash and sealing phenomena observed during the impact of spheres onto …

One of the simplest splashing scenarios results from the impact of a single drop on a deep
pool. The traditional understanding of this process is that the impact generates an …

The impact of a single liquid drop on a flowing liquid film is experimentally and theoretically
studied. The drop impact produces a crownlike rising liquid sheet, which radially expands …
