Data centers have tended to develop towards large scale and high density, with overall
power consumption reaching up to 3% of the total national electricity consumption. It is vital …

Droplet solidification has received much attention over the last two decades due its
relevance in natural processes as well as engineering applications. Study of droplet …

The thermal performances of phase change materials (PCMs) are of great importance to
latent heat thermal energy storage applications. In order to improve the thermal properties …

Droplet evaporation is a widely encountered heat and mass transfer phenomenon. Due to its
3D in nature, it is challenging to simulate the complex 3D droplet evaporation process. Here …

In this work, a new three-dimensional sessile droplet freezing model, involving the ice
fraction and ice distribution after the droplet recalescence, is established based on the many …

Wetting of metal surfaces plays an important role in fuel cells, corrosion science, and heat-
transfer devices. It has been recently stipulated that Cu surface is hydrophobic. In order to …

A multiphase Lattice Boltzmann model with phase change is presented for studying droplet
impact and solidification on an airfoil. The proposed model combines a pseudo-potential …

Droplet impact and freezing on cold surfaces is a widely encountered multi-physical
phenomenon involving droplet deformation and the liquid–solid phase change. Due to its …

Most conventional axisymmetric multiphase lattice Boltzmann methods involve complicated
external source terms to model the axisymmetric effect. Besides, the break of mass …

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 …
