Droplet impact on solid surfaces is essential both in nature and industry. Precisely regulating
the dynamic behavior of droplet impact is of great significance for energy harvesting, anti …

Liquid impingement erosion has been known as mechanical degradation, where the original
material is removed progressively from a solid surface due to continued exposure to impacts …

Impinging a millimeter-sized liquid droplet on a leaky substrate—such as a porous mesh—
can cause the formation of many small droplets from the ligament fragmentation. Although …

A liquid drop impacting on a soft surface is known to exhibit fascinating dynamics that is
distinctive from its bounce-back atop a rigid surface. However, while the early spreading of …

We investigated the dynamics of liquid jets engendered by the impact of droplets on a fractal
superhydrophobic surface. Depending on the impact conditions, jets emanate from the free …

Impinging dilute sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) droplets on micropillar-arrayed
polydimethylsiloxane surfaces were experimentally investigated. It was found that the …

The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the use of face masks, making
them an integral part of the daily routine. Face masks occlude the infectious droplets during …

Considerable efforts had been devoted to investigating numerically the droplet impact
dynamics on a superhydrophobic surface, whereas most of these numerical simulations …

The goal of this study is to explore and analyze the concurrent shear-driven droplet
shedding and coalescence under the effect of various parameters, such as droplet size and …

The impact of droplets on textured or rough surfaces has garnered remarkable appreciation
due to its multifarious applications such as self-cleaning, anti-icing, and anti-fouling, leading …
