Droplet solidification has received much attention over the last two decades due its
relevance in natural processes as well as engineering applications. Study of droplet …

The impacting-freezing dynamics of a supercooled water droplet on a cold surface is studied
experimentally and numerically. A numerical model that considers both the effects of the …

Forced or spontaneous wetting of a solid surface in an isothermal case is governed by an
outer flow and by wetting properties of the substrate. These properties are determined by the …

The freezing process of supercooled water droplets on cold plates is studied experimentally
and numerically. A numerical model that considers both the supercooling effect on the …

Droplet freezing on inclined surfaces exists widely in engineering fields. To accurately
predict and control the freezing process of a sessile water droplet on inclined surface, a …

While the previous studies discussed the impact and freezing coupling processes of
supercooled water droplets on cold superhydrophobic convex spheres at medium or high …

This chapter describes formulation of simulation models for ultrahigh temperature latent heat
thermal energy storage (UHT-LHTES) systems. A brief overview of the involved mechanisms …

In-flight icing usually occurs when supercooled droplets impact on the cold surface of an
aircraft, which should be concerned for its adverse effects on aerodynamic performance. To …

Theoretical and experimental investigations are conducted to study the freezing process of a
sessile water droplet. A novel model that considers the effects of both supercooling and …

Superhydrophobic coatings have many potential applications in prevention of ice, frost,
condensation, and corrosion due to their strong hydrophobicity and self-cleaning function …
