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 …

This is the first book to encompass the fundamental phenomenon, principles, and processes
of discrete droplets of both normal liquids and melts. It provides the reader with the science …

A drop of low viscosity hitting a solid may bounce, provided that the material is highly
hydrophobic. As a model of such a situation, we consider here the case of a very hot solid …

Experimental investigation on droplet dynamics and heat transfer in spray cooling was
conducted. Water and water solutions with different surfactant additions (sodium dodecyl …

In the present work, the effects of surface chemistry and micro/nanostructuring on the
Leidenfrost temperature are experimentally investigated. The functional surfaces were …

In this paper, we propose an extended model for the numerical simulation of evaporating
droplets within the framework of interface capturing or interface tracking methods. Most …

A numerical investigation of the evaporation process of n-heptane and water liquid droplets
impinging onto a hot substrate is presented. Three different temperatures are investigated …

In this paper, we compare numerical simulations and experiments on droplets impinging
onto a hot surface at a temperature well above the Leidenfrost point, for different impacting …

Spray evaporative cooling, in lieu of conventional laminar jet impingement cooling, has
potential to achieve the anomalously high strip cooling rate of Ultra Fast Cooling–300° C/s …

The evaporation of water droplets, impinging with low Weber number and gently depositing
on heated surfaces of stainless steel is studied numerically using a combination of fluid flow …
