The growing demands for superhydrophobic materials in real-world applications, such as
anti-icing, heat management, and energy harvesting, cannot be met by solely considering …

The rebound of liquid droplets on solid surfaces exhibits behavior reminiscent of elastic
spheres, albeit with distinct contact dynamics. While the rapid detachment of droplets from …

Hypothesis Due to the complex hydrodynamics of droplet impact on ridged
superhydrophobic surfaces, quantitative droplet spreading characteristics are unrevealed …

This study uses the level contour reconstruction method to numerically investigate the
maximum spreading due to droplet collision with a dry, stationary, spherical particle. We …

In this work, a simplified wetting boundary scheme in the phase-field lattice Boltzmann
model is developed for wetting phenomena on curved boundaries. The proposed scheme …

In this study, we experimentally and numerically investigate the activity of a rebounding
droplet on a spherical particle and the effects of surface curvature on its rebounding …

In the present study, the maximum spreading diameter of a droplet impacting with a
spherical particle is numerically studied for a wide range of impact conditions: Weber …

Reducing the contact time during the droplet impact on the surface is crucial for anti-icing,
self-cleaning, and heat transfer optimization applications. This study aims to minimize the …

This study numerically investigates the effects of the Weber number (We) and cylinder-to-
droplet radius ratio (R*) on the impact dynamics of a low-viscosity droplet on a hydrophobic …

Adding a macroscale groove structure to the superhydrophobic surface makes the water
droplet to bounce in a petal shape and dramatically reduces the contact time of the water …
