This book presents a comprehensive overview of fluid mechanical, thermal and physico-chemical aspects of drop-surface interactions. Basic physical mechanisms pertaining to free-surface flow phenomena characteristic of drop impact on solid and liquid surfaces are explained emphasizing the importance of scaling. Moreover, physico-chemical fundamentals relating to a forced spreading of complex solutions, analytical tools for calculating compressibility effects, and heat transfer and phase change phenomena occurring during solidification and evaporation processes, respectively, are introduced in detail. Finally, numerical approaches particularly suited for modeling drop-surface interactions are consisely surveyed with a particular emphasis on boundary integral methods and Navier-Stokes algorithms (volume of fluid, level set and front tracking algorithms). The book is closed by contributions to a workshop on Drop-Surface Interactions held at the International Centre of Mechanical Sciences.

The objective of the present work is to develop a computational model to simulate liquid droplet impact and post-impact spread-recoil dynamics on a horizontal, flat, smooth, dry surface. The governing equations of continuity and momentum are solved to simulate the transient flow. Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is applied to capture continuously deforming gas-liquid interface. Simulations are carried out for pure water and aqueous solution of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) droplet impact on a hydrophobic (Teflon) surface. Simulations are carried out for Weber number 20 and 80 with impact velocities of 0.7 m/s and 1.4 m/s and droplet diameters of 2 mm and 3 mm, respectively. The results show increase in maximum spreading factor with increase in Weber number. Computational results predict advancing, recoiling and bouncing behavior of water droplets on the Teflon surface which agrees with the experimental observations available in literature. Aqueous solution of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) at twice the Critical Micelle Concentration (2xCMC) is used and its time and space dependent surface tension behavior is modeled. It is observed that dynamic surface tension plays a primary role in the modification of droplet spread-recoil process. The simulation results for surfactant solution show larger drop spread followed by weaker recoil and no rebound from the surface. These results are validated with experimental measurements reported in the literature. Non-isothermal impact conditions are investigated to study heat transfer phenomenon during droplet impact. The solid surface is maintained at 353°K and corresponding heat flux values and overall heat transfer rates for both pure water and surfactant solution drops are calculated. The results indicate that aqueous surfactant solution improves the liquid-solid wetting area and results in higher heat transfer compared to pure water droplet.

This book provides a selection of contributions to the DIPSI workshop 2019 (Droplet Impact Phenomena & Spray Investigations) as well as recent progress of the Int. Research Training Group “DROPIT”.The DIPSI workshop, which is now at its thirteenth edition, represents an important opportunity to share recent knowledge on droplets and sprays in a variety of research fields and industrial applications. The research training group “DROPIT” is focused on droplet interaction technologies where microscopic effects influence strongly macroscopic behavior. This requires the inclusion of interface kinetics and/or a detailed analysis of surface microstructures. Normally, complicated technical processes cover the underlying basic mechanisms, and therefore, progress in the overall process modelling can hardly be gained. Therefore, DROPIT focuses on the underlying basic processes. This is done by investigating different spatial and/or temporal scales of the problems and by linking them through a multi-scale approach. In addition, multi-physics are required to understand e.g. problems for droplet-wall interactions, where porous structures are involved.

This book gives a representative survey of the state of the art of research on gas-surface interactions. It provides an overview of the current understanding of gas surface dynamics and, in particular, of the reactive and non-reactive processes of atoms and small molecules at surfaces. Leading scientists in the field, both from the theoretical and the experimental sides, write in this book about their most recent advances. Surface science grew as an interdisciplinary research area over the last decades, mostly because of new experimental technologies (ultra-high vacuum, for instance), as well as because of a novel paradigm, the ‘surface science’ approach. The book describes the second transformation which is now taking place pushed by the availability of powerful quantum-mechanical theoretical methods implemented numerically. In the book, experiment and theory progress hand in hand with an unprecedented degree of accuracy and control. The book presents how modern surface science targets the atomic-level understanding of physical and chemical processes at surfaces, with particular emphasis on dynamical aspects. This book is a reference in the field.
