The dynamics of two vertically coalescing drops and a pool of the same liquid have been
investigated using a Coupled Level Set and Volume of Fluid (CLSVOF) method. Such a …

To date, the Leidenfrost effect has been a two-phase phenomenon: either an evaporating
liquid or a sublimating solid levitates on its vapor. Here, we demonstrate that an ice disk …

Electric charges are often found in naturally or artificially formed droplets, such as raindrops
and those generated by Kelvin's water dropper. In contrast to the impact of neutral droplets …

Leidenfrost state of droplets compromises heat dissipation in cooling applications because
of the formation of a thin insulating vapor layer over which the coolant droplet levitates. Here …

In this paper, the impact of Al 2 O 3-water nanofluid droplets on a hot surface in the film
boiling regime is investigated numerically. The impact velocities are within a range so …

To simulate Leidenfrost drops over a heated liquid pool (namely the liquid-substrate-based
(LSB) Leidenfrost drops), a model of evaporation phase change contained within a three …

A liquid drop levitates on its own vapor on a sufficiently hot surface (the Leidenfrost effect).
Application of an electrical potential difference across the vapor gap suppresses the …

The investigations involved a large water droplet deposited on the heating surface, the
temperature of which was higher than the Leidenfrost point. The main element of the …

At high temperatures, a droplet can rest on a cushion of its vapor (the Leidenfrost effect).
Application of an electric field across the vapor gap fundamentally eliminates the Leidenfrost …

A drop of liquid will levitate on its own vapor on a sufficiently hot surface (the Leidenfrost
effect). Application of an electric field across the vapor gap suppresses the Leidenfrost state …
