In the winter, icing on solid surfaces is a typical occurrence that may create a slew of hassles
and even tragedies. Anti-icing surfaces are one of the effective solutions for this kind of …

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 …

Bouncing dynamics of impact droplets on solid surfaces intensively appeal to researchers
due to the importance in many industrial fields. Here, we found that droplets impacting onto …

A droplet impacting hydrophobic surfaces is explored via lattice Boltzmann method
simulations. Dynamics of the spreading and retraction processes of the impacting droplet …

In recent years, the advancement of learning algorithms has shifted the focus of molecular
simulation from icing processes to more complex predictions of anti-icing material …

Droplet impingement on subcooled surfaces has a significant effect on the power industry as
well as on the anti-icing process of the wing. Surface temperature, impact velocity, and …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) lattice Boltzmann method based on the Allen-Cahn
equation (AC LBM) is employed to study the spreading dynamics of impacting droplets on …

Abstract when a droplet impacts on a superhydrophobic structured surface below a certain
impact velocity, the droplet can bounce off completely from the surface. However, above …

The impact of liquid drops on a rigid surface is central in cleaning, cooling, and coating
processes in both nature and industrial applications. However, it is not clear how details of …

Wetting phenomena, ie the spreading of a liquid over a dry solid surface, are important for
understanding how plants and insects imbibe water and moisture and for miniaturization in …
