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 …

A comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of droplets undergoing collisions with solid
surfaces is required in a number of technological and industrial situations. Recently, a new …

Based on the energy conservation approach, this study develops a universal model to
predict the maximum spreading factor of liquid droplet impact on a smooth solid surface …

Introduction In this study, a novel numerical implementation for the adhesion of liquid
droplets impacting normally on solid dry surfaces is presented. The advantage of this new …

Droplet impact has been imaged on different rigid, smooth, and rough substrates for three
liquids with different viscosity and surface tension, with special attention to the lower impact …

Whether a droplet splashes upon impact onto a solid is known to depend not only on the
fluid properties and its speed, but also on the substrate characteristics. Past research has …

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we investigate impact behaviors of water
nanodroplets on hydrophilic to hydrophobic surfaces with static contact angles ranging from …

This work presents an experimental study of dynamic contact angle hysteresis using liquid
bridges under cyclic compression and stretching between two identical plates. Under …

Drop hitting on superhydrophobic surfaces usually undergoes spreading and retraction
stages before its complete rebound and there exists a minimum amount of time for the …

In this work, subcooled droplet impact on a highly thermally conductive spherical surface
was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Specifically, the effect of Weber …
