In this article, the impact of a liquid drop of low viscosity on a super-hydrophobic surface was studied. But the authors focused on the effect of the drop on the spread of the liquid on the surface.
Abstract
We first study the impact of a liquid drop of low viscosity on a super-hydrophobic surface. Denoting the drop size and speed as are the liquid density and surface tension). This law is also observed to hold on partially wettable surfaces, provided that liquids of low viscosity (such as water) are used. The law is interpreted as resulting from the effective acceleration experienced by the drop during its impact. Viscous drops are also analysed, allowing us to propose a criterion for predicting if the spreading is limited by capillarity, or by viscosity.

Impacting Water Droplets Can Alleviate Dust from Slanted Hydrophobic Surfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, a water droplet impacting on a slanted dusty hydrophobic surface is examined in relation to dust mitigation from surfaces, and the authors reveal that the dynamic characteristics of the impacting droplet on the slanted hydrophilic surface are significantly influenced by the dust particles.

Nanodroplet impacts on hydrophobic/superhydrophobic surfaces with point textures

TL;DR: In this article , the impact dynamics of nanodroplets on hydrophobic/superhydrophobic surfaces decorated by point textures via molecular dynamics simulations was investigated, aiming to significantly reduce the contact by the point textures.

Descriptive statistics and sizing models potentially applicable in the interior of cars

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present some descriptive statistics of several variables specific to the environment of a modern car, focused on the data series of a sample divided into three distinct sub-samples (three-volume low class cars, compact cars of the van type, and three-volume medium class vehicles).

Experimental and Numerical Study on Dynamic Characteristics of Droplet Impacting on a Hot Tailings Surface

TL;DR: In this paper , a finite volume simulations of the droplet impingement were developed by applying the volume-of-fluid method and were validated against experimental results, and a new maximum spreading factor model was proposed for the extracted titanium tailings surface based on the experimental and numerical results.
