A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

The ability of water to lie on a surface as a flat film rather than in form of droplets is one of the
crucial surface properties which play an important role in many practical applications …

This study experimentally investigates the dynamic behaviors of water droplets over wide
ranges of diameters and velocities (200 μm< D 0< 2600 μm, 50< We< 3000) impacting on …

Spray cooling has been used to quench metal slabs during casting, cool nuclear reactors,
suppress accidental fires, and remove heat from high-power density electronics. In …

When a water drop impacts a mesh having submillimeter pores, a part of the drop penetrates
through the mesh if the impact velocity is sufficiently large. Here we show that different …

Atomization and spray generation naturally occur around us in a wide variety of situations
ranging from drop impacts to bubble bursting. However, controlling this process is key in …

Using a mesh surface is a promising technique in oil-water separation applications. In this
paper, we investigated the dynamic impact of a silicone oil drop with different viscosities on …

Hydrophobicity is critical for waterproofed and breathable fibrous membranes (WBFMs).
Static hydrophobicity characterized by hydrostatic pressure required for water breakthrough …

This paper investigates the complex physical phenomenon of oblique drop impact on
superhydrophobic substrates with two-tier roughness (patterned with varied submillimeter …

When a droplet impacts a superhydrophobic sieve, a part of the droplet penetrates through it
when the dynamic pressure (ρU2) of the im**ing droplet exceeds the breakthrough …
