TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of geometrical or thermal discontinuities on the growth of water droplets condensing on a cooled substrate and found that edges, corners, cooled/non cooled boundaries can have a strong effect on the vapor concentration profile and mass diffusion around the drops.

TL;DR: In this paper, two coastal sites were investigated in an arid region of southwest Morocco to determine the amount of dew, fog and rain that could be collected from rooftops for household use.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of physicochemical conditions on cross-flow ultrafiltration of colloidal suspension is investigated using simple hydrodynamics for the flow in a rectangular channel with one porous wall, but focusing on a detailed description of the dependence of both osmotic pressure and gradient diffusion coefficient on concentration and physicochemical parameters.

TL;DR: From the surface coverage of the condensed drops it was found that dew forms primarily in the valleys between the bumps, whereas the surface of the bumps is smooth, and the difference in droplet nucleation rate between bumps and valleys can be attributed to the hexagonal microstructure on the surfaces of the valleys.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-step 2D percolation-driven mechanism is proposed for the formation of frost on a smooth hydrophobic surface, where the surface is cooled much below the water freezing temperature (?9??C).
