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 …

The Leidenfrost effect, namely the levitation of drops on hot solids, is known to deteriorate
heat transfer at high temperature. The Leidenfrost point can be elevated by texturing …

In the Leidenfrost state, the liquid drop is levitated above a hot solid surface by a vapor layer
generated via evaporation from the drop. The vapor layer thermally insulates the drop from …

This paper experimentally investigated the Leidenfrost dynamics of an impacting droplet of
water and 2–8 vol% iso-propanol-water solutions in the film boiling regime up to 450° C. A …

Textured surface has shown great potential in inhibiting Leidenfrost phenomenon for the
thermal management of high heat flux devices. Although diverse textured surfaces have …

This study experimentally explores fluid breakup and Leidenfrost dynamics for droplets
impacting a heated millimetric post. Using high-speed optical and infrared imaging, we …

To improve the controllability of combustion and reduce the emissions of HC and CO of the
newly developed combustion modes, such as the HCCI, PCCI and RCCI, the evaporation …

The Leidenfrost point (LFP) of a single deionized water droplet on various wettability
surfaces was investigated by high-speed visualization. Manipulating both the chemical and …

Due to its superiority in suppressing hydrogen generation under severe accident conditions,
silicon carbide (SiC) has been regarded as one of the promising candidates among the …

Regulate over the generation of Leidenfrost phenomenon in liquids is vitally important in
