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 …

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 …

The Leidenfrost effect, namely the levitation of drops on hot solids, is known to deteriorate
heat transfer at high temperature. The Leidenfrost point can be elevated by texturing …

Engineering surfaces that promote rapid drop detachment, is of importance to a wide range
of applications including anti-icing,,, dropwise condensation and self-cleaning,,. Here we …

Liquid mobility on super-wettable materials is of interest for enhanced heat transfer, self-
cleaning, anti-fouling, anti-icing, water-harvesting, and oil–water separation. Here, we …

Droplet bouncing on surfaces has long been observed in nature and industry, which is
rather intriguing and instructive for related technology development. Recent decades have …

Drop impact on solid surfaces widely occurs both in nature and engineering. In this
Perspective, we review the recent advances in experimental, theoretical, and numerical …

The phenomenon of droplet bouncing on superhydrophobic surfaces has received
extensive attention in the academic and industrial fields, as it is critical for various …

Aircraft icing refers to ice formation and accumulation on the windward surface of aircrafts. It
is mainly caused by the striking of unstable supercooled water droplets suspended in clouds …

When a liquid droplet impacts a hot solid surface, enough vapor may be generated under it
to prevent its contact with the solid. The minimum solid temperature for this so-called …
