Liquid marbles (LMs) are nonsticking droplets whose surfaces are covered with low-
wettability particles. Owing to their high mobility, shape reconfigurability, and widely …

Icing of seawater droplets is capable of causing catastrophic damage to vessels, buildings,
and human life, yet it also holds great potential for enhancing applications such as droplet …

Hypothesis The shape of the “freezing tip” formed by the crystallization of water droplets
demonstrated remarkable universality-no dependence on the cooling rate and physico …

Superhydrophobic surfaces often lose the easy-removal ability of liquids during icing &
melting cycles due to the impalement phenomena of air pockets. Especially for the most …

The freezing of water droplets placed on metallic surfaces and surfaces lubricated with
various silicone oils was studied. The freezing of water droplets placed on inclined and …

Condensation frosting is encountered ubiquitously in our daily life and numerous industrial
applications, rooting many detrimental consequences in heat transfer and mechanical …

Controlled freezing of water marbles coated with various hydrophobic powders was studied
in situ. Three main pathways of freezing were registered, namely: i) freezing accompanied …

Freezing of water droplets placed on the bare and superhydrophobic surfaces of polymer
wedges is studied both experimentally and computationally. Two-dimensional numerical …

The processes of freezing of water droplets sitting on a substrate after exposure to
nanosecond spark discharges have been experimentally studied. It has been found that the …

Understanding the freezing mechanism of a complex fluid drop is of interest from both
fundamental study and application viewpoints. Whereas a water drop is frozen into a peach …
