A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

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

Rainwater runoff from building facades is a complex process governed by a wide range of
urban, building, material and meteorological parameters. Given this complexity and the wide …

Droplet impact dynamics is an interfacial phenomenon that is shown everywhere in nature
and is the underlying of numerous technological applications including bio-printing, tissue …

Drop impact onto dry solid surfaces is experimentally investigated over wide ranges of
Reynolds and Weber numbers (100⩽ Re⩽ 20,000 and 16⩽ We⩽ 2000). The observed …

With the increasing interest in improving high-performance cooling systems, research on
droplet cooling requires more complex methods for enhancing heat transfer. Hence, we …

Droplet impact on a flexible substrate is a prevalent phenomenon in nature and various
advanced technologies such as soft bio-printing, tissue engineering, smart biomaterials and …

Hypothesis Even a small fraction of nanoparticles in fluids affects the splashing behavior of a
droplet upon impact on a smooth surface. Experiments Nanofluid drop impact onto a smooth …

A liquid drop impact on to a rough solid typically produces an “impact region,” which is an
area of fully wetted surface smaller than or equal to the projected area of the drop. Here …

We study the impact of drops onto a flat surface with a nano-particle-based
superhydrophobic coating, focusing on the earliest contact using 200 ns time-resolution. A …
