This paper is dedicated to the solidification of a water drop impacting a cold solid surface. In a first part, we establish a 1D solidification model, derived from the Stefan problem, that aims at predicting the freezing dynamic of a liquid…
The vaporization of a freely moving drop in a uniform, high-temperature gas stream is investigated through direct numerical simulation. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with surface tension and phase change are solved in…
We report frozen patterns for the water droplets impacting on a cold substrate through fast-speed images. These patterns can be manipulated by several physical parameters (the droplet size, falling height, and substrate temperature), and…
We simulate the flow of two immiscible and incompressible fluids separated by an interface in a homogeneous turbulent shear flow at a shear Reynolds number equal to 15200. The viscosity and density of the two fluids are equal, and various…
In this study, we designed a spiral-shaped milli-reactor with a T-junction microchannel to generate digital droplets for studying and observing the digital freezing process of droplets. During the study of the recalescence and…
Flow over a surface can be stratified by imposing a fixed mean vertical temperature (density) gradient profile throughout or via cooling at the surface. These distinct mechanisms can act simultaneously to establish a stable stratification…
In this study, we present results from experiments on the retention of single oil droplets rising through a two-layer density stratification. These experiments confirm the significant slowdown observed in past literature of settling and…
We employ a multi-phase smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to study droplet dynamics in shear flow. With an extensive range of Reynolds number, capillary number, wall confinement, and density/viscosity ratio between the droplet…
Mist/air two-phase flow is a promising cooling technique for many applications such as internal cooling of gas turbine blades. A significant enhancement of heat transfer can be achieved with a low mass fraction of droplets by utilizing the…
We investigate the asymmetric freezing of a liquid droplet sliding on an inclined cold surface using numerical simulations based on the lubrication approximation. The combined effects of gravity, capillarity, and solidification kinetics on…
We used volume-of-fluid (VOF) method to perform three-dimensional numerical simulations of droplet formation of Newtonian fluids in microfluidic T-junction devices. To evaluate the performance of the VOF method we examined the regimes of…
A phase-field model for three-phase flows is established by combining the Navier-Stokes (NS) and the energy equations, with the Allen-Cahn (AC) and Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equations and is demonstrated analytically to satisfy the energy…

Two-length-scale pair potentials arise ubiquitously in condensed matter theory as effective interparticle interactions in molecular, metallic and soft matter systems. The existence of two different bond lengths generated by the shape of…
In the present paper, experimental and numerical studies of interaction between different liquid droplets with different hot metal surfaces had been carried out and the obtained results were interpreted using graphs and pictures. Droplet…
We investigate the three-dimensional melting dynamics of an initially spherical particle translating in a warmer liquid using sharp-interface simulations that fully resolve both solid and fluid phases with the Stefan condition. A wide…

Freezing of complex fluids is central to a wide range of natural and technological processes, where the interplay between heat transport, solute redistribution, and interfacial deformation gives rise to complex morphologies. Unlike simple…
