Drop interaction with solid surfaces upon impact has been attracting a growing community of
researchers who are focusing more and more on “complex” surfaces and “complex” drops …

Phase change materials that can absorb or release large amounts of heat during phase
transition, play a critical role in many important processes, including heat dissipation …

The impact and splash of liquid drops on solid substrates are ubiquitous in many important
fields. However, previous studies have mainly focused on spherical drops while the non …

Droplet impacts are common in many applications such as coating, spraying, or printing;
understanding how droplets spread after impact is thus of utmost importance. Such impacts …

Hypothesis Freezing morphologies of impacting water droplets depend on the interaction
between droplet spreading and solidification. The existing studies showed that the shape of …

Freezing of water droplets impacting a cold substrate is a commonly encountered
circumstance impairing the performance and safety of various applications. Active methods …

Drop-on-demand metal jetting is a promising additive manufacturing (AM) technology that is
gaining interest due to its capability to directly print complex single and multi-material …

We study numerically the dynamics of an air-in-liquid compound drop impacting onto a solid
surface. We demonstrate that the addition of a bubble in the drop decreases its maximum …

We investigate the arrested spreading of room temperature droplets impacting flat ice. The
use of an icy substrate eliminates the nucleation energy barrier, such that a freeze front can …

Freezing or solidification of impacting droplets is omnipresent in nature and technology, be it
a rain droplet falling on a supercooled surface; in inkjet printing, where often molten wax is …
