This paper provides a comprehensive review of published literatures concerning the fluid
mechanics and heat transfer mechanisms of liquid drop impact on a heated wall. The review …

Droplet impact behaviours are widely applied in a variety of domains including self-cleaning,
painting and coating, corrosion of turbine blades and aircraft, separation and oil repellency …

This review discusses how drops can levitate on a cushion of vapor when brought in contact
with a hot solid. This is the so-called Leidenfrost phenomenon, a dynamical and transient …

At the impact of a liquid droplet on a smooth surface heated above the liquid's boiling point,
the droplet either immediately boils when it contacts the surface (“contact boiling”), or without …

The impingement of fuel spray onto interposed surfaces in an IC engine, equipped either
with a direct or an indirect injection system, is a fundamental issue affecting mixture …

A Leidenfrost drop forms when a volatile liquid is brought in contact with a very hot solid.
Then, a vapor film comes in between the solid and the drop, giving to the latter the …

The impact morphology of millimetric water drops on a polished aluminium surface has been
studied experimentally by high-speed imaging, for surface temperatures between 50 and …

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 …

We experimentally determine the phase diagram for impacting ethanol droplets on a
smooth, sapphire surface in the parameter space of Weber number by incorporating the …

With aid of high-speed imaging, boiling phenomena near the Leidenfrost point from a single
liquid drop impact on a heated solid wall were identified, including reflection rebound …
