Droplet impact on a high-temperature solid surface in the film boiling regime is widely
encountered in various modern industrial and technological applications. The present article …

Droplets may rebound/levitate when deposited over a hot substrate (beyond a critical
temperature) due to the formation of a stable vapor microcushion between the droplet and …

Droplet impact on a heated substrate is an important area of study in spray cooling
applications. On substrates significantly hotter than the saturation temperature, droplets …

When a volatile drop impacts on a superheated solid, air drainage and vapour generation
conspire to create an intermediate gas layer that delays or even prevents contact between …

By sufficiently heating a solid, a sessile drop can be prevented from contacting the surface
by floating on its own vapour. While certain aspects of the dynamics of this so-called …

The head-to-head impact of diesel-fuel droplets on a polished spherical brass target has
been investigated experimentally. High-speed imaging was employed to visualize the …

When a liquid drop impacts on a heated substrate, it can remain deposited, or violently boil
in contact, or lift off with or without ever touching the surface. The latter is known as the …

A combined experimental and computational investigation of micrometric diesel droplets
impacting on a heated aluminium substrate is presented. Dual view high-speed imaging has …

This study explores the kinetic behavior of droplets impacting microtextured surfaces under
a Leidenfrost temperature, employing high-speed photography and picosecond laser …

We experimentally investigate the boiling behavior of impacting ethanol drops on a heated
smooth sapphire substrate at pressures ranging from P= 0.13 bar to atmospheric pressure …
