Droplet Impact onto a Spherical Particle in Mid-Air.

▼ Collision between a
droplet and a particle has a wide range of applications in chemical and petrochemical industries, polyethylene synthesis, and particle coating. Various studies in the literature indicate that the collision products are very different depending on the size and velocity of the particle and
droplet, particle wettability and roughness, and physical properties of the liquid and the surrounding gas. The collision outcome is a liquid film (i.e. lamella) and the objective of this thesis is to identify various
impact products in different conditions and to study how each category of the above mentioned parameters or a combination of them affect the lamella formation. Investigation of the
droplet impact was divided into two parts: drop
impact onto a still particle, and
droplet impact onto a moving particle in mid-air. Contribution of this thesis to the field can be summarized as following. First, studying the
impact phenomenon in a wider range of both Weber number (0.1<We<1146) and
droplet-to-particle diameter ratio (1.4<Dr<5.0) compared to what already exists in the literature. Both experimental and numerical tools were developed and used to study the head-on
impact between a
droplet and a particle. Second, studying the effect of
impact velocity, particle wettability, and the amount that each of these parameter contributes on collision outcomes. The required conditions for a lamella to be formed was also studied, and how the lamella geometry changes in case the
impact velocity is changed, or hydrophilic/hydrophobic types of particles are used. Third, investigation of the effect of liquid viscosity on lamella formation; what the dynamics of the liquid is inside the film, and how the fluid field inside the lamella is affected by the viscosity changes. Fourth, identifying the role of ambient gas in lamella formation and how each of the drag and lift forces contribute in creating the liquid film. Fifth, developing a pneumatic
droplet generator capable of producing single drops with various
droplet sizes. The breakup phenomenon in the nozzle and
droplet velocity upon pinch-off were also investigated in detail.

▼ The impact of liquid drops on solid surfaces is a ubiquitous phenomenon in our everyday experience; nevertheless, a general understanding of the dynamics governing droplet impact remains elusive. The impact event is understood within a commonly accepted hydrodynamic picture: impact initiates with a rapid shock and a subsequent ejection of a sheet leading to beautiful splashing patterns. However, this picture ignores the essential role of the air that is trapped between the impacting drop and the surface. We describe a new imaging modality that is sensitive to the behavior right at the surface. We show that a very thin film of air, only a few tens of nanometers thick, remains trapped between the falling drop and the surface as the drop spreads. The thin film of air serves to lubricate the drop enabling the fluid to skate on the air film laterally outward at surprisingly high velocities, consistent with theoretical predictions. We directly visualize the rapid spreading dynamics succeeding the impact of a droplet of fluid on a solid, dry surface. We show that the approach of the spreading liquid toward the surface is unstable, and lift-off of the spreading front away from the surface occurs. Lift-off ensues well before the liquid contacts the surface, in contrast with prevailing paradigm where lift-off of the liquid is contingent on solid-liquid contact and the formation of a viscous boundary layer. We show that when a drop impacts an atomically smooth mica surface, a strikingly stable nanometer thin layer of air remains trapped between the liquid and the solid. This layer occludes the formation of contact, and ultimately causes the complete rebound of the drop.

▼ The analysis of
droplet impact on micro-structured surfaces is a very challenging problem since it involves several physical phenomena interacting with one each other at levels of correlation depending on space and time. Moreover, understanding the dynamics and the main parameters a ecting the
droplet behavior can give the capability to control and take advantage of its potential in di erent practical applications. In this work, rstly a phenomenological investigation of the phenomenon is provided involving models present in the literature and proposed
theoretical analyses. Some fundamentals regarding numerical methods used in Computational
Fluids Dynamics are presented in order to give the basis for the simulation set-up: particular
attention is given to the contact angle boundary condition. Successively, several case studies
are run with the open source software OpenFOAM: impacts on both surfaces with uniform and
heterogeneous wettability characteristics are numerically simulated, with particular attention to cases exhibiting "morphing" and "vectoring" outcomes.

▼ The
impact and subsequent freezing of water droplets on solid surfaces is a common
mechanism for surface icing and frosting. We investigate this mechanism by
decoupling it into two separate phenomena: 1)
Impact of droplets on solid surfaces

goal is to unravel the role that the underlying wettability plays for both of these
phenomena.

▼ Aircraft icing is widely recognized as a significant hazard to aircraft operations in cold weather. When an aircraft or rotorcraft fly in a cold climate, some of the super-cooled water droplets would impact and freeze on the exposed aircraft surfaces to form ice shapes, which can degrade the aerodynamic performance of an airplane significantly by decreasing lift while increasing drag, and even lead to the aircraft crash. In the present study, a series of experimental investigations were conducted to investigate dynamics and thermodynamics of in-flight and impinging water droplets in order to elucidate the underlying physics of the important microphysical process pertinent to aircraft icing phenomena.
A novel lifetime-based molecular tagging thermometry technique (MTT) is developed to achieve simultaneous measurements of droplet size, flying velocity and transient temperature of in-flight water droplets to characterize the dynamic and thermodynamic behaviors of the micro-sized in-flight droplets pertinent to aircraft icing phenomena. By using high-speed imaging and infrared thermal imaging techniques, a comprehensive experimental study was conducted to quantify the unsteady heat transfer and phase changing processes as water droplets impinging onto frozen cold surfaces under different test conditions (i.e., with different Weber numbers, Reynolds numbers, and impact angles of the impinging droplets, different temperature, hydrophobicity and roughness of the test plates) to simulate the scenario of super-cooled water droplets impinging onto the frozen cold wing surfaces. A novel digital image projector (DIP) technique was also developed to achieve time-resolved film thickness measurements to quantify the dynamic impinging process of water droplets (i.e., droplet impact, rebounding, splashing and freezing process). An impact droplet maximum spreading diameter model and a damped harmonic oscillator model was proposed based on precise measurement of the impact droplet 3D shape. A better understanding of the important micro physical processes pertinent to aircraft icing phenomena would lead to better ice accretion models for more accurate prediction of ice formation and accretion on aircraft wings as well as develop more effective and robust anti-/de-icing strategies for safer and more efficient operation of aircraft in cold weather.

▼ Dans le cadre de la modélisation et de l’expérimentation multi-échelles (projet LabEx MMCD pour les matériaux pour la construction durable) de l’Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, cette thèse de doctorat vise à modéliser et caractériser les micro-matériaux conçus par impact de gouttelettes de céramique fondue. Les applications de ces matériaux revétus de couches minces sont des traitements de surface pour la construction durable tels que la protection anti-corrosion, les barrières thermiques, le traitement du verre ou les renforts mécaniques. En particulier, nous nous concentrons sur la physique associée à la dynamique des gouttelettes liquides (l'aire de contact et le temps de contact entre la gouttelette et la surface) en effectuant une série de simulations numériques pour les écoulements diphasiques à petite échelle avec le code maison Thetis. Nous avons considéré des variations des conditions d'impact initiales ainsi que l’influence des forces d'inertie, capillaire et visqueuses sur la dynamique des gouttelettes. Nous nous sommes intéressés en particulier au diamètre d'étalement maximal, au temps d’étalement maximal et au temps de contact, sur des surfaces solides de mouillabilité variable. Le code est basé sur l’utilisation d’une méthode Volume-Of-Fluid. Il introduit une fonction auxiliaire régularisée pour estimer la courbure locale et la normale à l'interface. Les principaux liquides de référence adoptés sont l'eau et la céramique fondue, l'eau est choisie pour valider notre code en comparant les simulations aux résultats expérimentaux. La céramique fondue est adoptée car elle est largement utilisée en projection thermique pour créer des barrières thermiques et chimiques (couches anti-oxydantes) ainsi que des renforts mécaniques sur des échantillons spécifiques. Nous nous concentrons sur les cas où les surfaces sont hydrophobes, même si les cas hydrophiles sont également considérés dans les configurations de validation pour des raisons de généralité. Egalement, en introduisant une partie de calcul de l'énergie dans la thèse, une analyse énergétique détaillée de la gouttelette après l'impact est effectuée dans les phases d'étalement et de rétraction pour bien comprendre la dynamique à l'intérieur de la gouttelette. Nous trouvons que le temps de projection est inversement proportionnel à la vitesse d’impact, indépendamment de l’angle de contact lors de l’étalement au temps courts. Une nouvelle mise à l'échelle entre l'étalement maximal et le temps d'étalement est proposée. Celle-ci s'accorde très bien avec les résultats expérimentaux. Par ailleurs, nous introduisons cette mise à l’échelle dans une classe de modèle basée sur la conservation de l’énergie pour prédire l’étalement maximal adimensionné, ce qui permet de mieux prévoir l’étalement maximal adimensionné. Pour finir, une mise à l'échelle du temps de contact est proposée en termes de nombre d'Ohnesorge et de Reynolds

▼ In order to study in-flight ice adhesion at the
droplet-scale, a strategy is presented to
simulate the
impact and solidification of a supercooled water
droplet on a cooled substrate.
Upon
impact, nucleation is assumed to occur instantaneously, and properties of the
droplet
are chosen to account for the nucleation process. Simulations are performed in ANSYS
Fluent using a coupled Volume of Fluid and Level-Set method to capture the air-water interface
and an Enthalpy-Porosity method to capture the liquid-solid interface. Calibration of a
simulation parameter, Amush, is performed in order to match experimental data for different
surface types and surface temperatures. The calibrated simulation strategy is applied to
low-speed, in-flight icing conditions. The effects of surface variation and
droplet diameter
variation are investigated, providing insight into the icephobicity of superhydrophobic
surfaces. Numerical results suggest that large droplets (approximately 200 micron-diameter)
will freeze and adhere to a superhydrophobic surface.

▼ The
impact of the water
droplet on permeable substrate has been studied experimentally and numerically. Reynolds number (Re) and Weber number (We) are found to be the governing non- dimensional numbers. Porosity of the substrate is the geometry parameter studied in this thesis.
Impact and penetration of the water
droplet has been studied experimentally on structured parallel holes on a solid substrate to track penetration in the presence of capillarity. Liquid penetration into the holes was initially rapid, driven by the inertia of the impacting liquid and then much slower, caused by capillary forces that drew in the liquid. The rate of liquid movement was predicted by a simple model that included liquid pressure, surface tension and viscous effects. The
area of liquid, solid contact inside the holes was significant, varying from 5% to 30% of the total
droplet-substrate contact area as
droplet height was raised from 1 cm to 5 cm. The enhanced contact area increased the surface energy of the
droplet and reduced the energy available for
droplet recoil.
Physics of capillary penetration in our experimental studies extended our research to model
droplet impact and penetration into structured permeable geometries using ANSYS-FLUENT 14.0. The significant objective of the numerical studies is characterization of the ratio of penetrated volume rather than
droplet initial volume. Porosity of the substrate has been studied to evaluate the effect of this value in penetration regime. Investigating the effect of
impact inertia achieved by changing Re number from 50 to 2000 and penetrated volume showed that increasing Re number increases liquid penetrated into the pore network. Spreading diameter and
droplet height showed similar oscillatory behaviors, but larger degree in height rather than spreading diameter. In the end, dynamic of bubble formation at range of Re has been observed. Small bubbles start forming at Re = 200. By increasing Re to 500 entrapped bubbles into the pore network starts to disappear due to the larger degree of momentum of the
impact which pushes the bubbles closer to the liquid/gas interface. For Re > 1000, formation of bubbles changes from spherical small form to large slug form.

▼ This study proposes a method to enhance the anti-icing capabilities of superhydrophobic surfaces by utilizing vibration to further reduce contact time of an impacting
droplet in addition to keeping the
droplet in the Cassie-Baxter regime, where surface adhesion is lower than the opposing Wenzel regime. We tested this with two methods: by investigating the effects of vibration normal to the plane of a superhydrophobic surface being impacted by water droplets in a room temperature environment, with the surface horizontal in a room temperature environment and tiled in a subzero degree environment. The amplitude and frequency of the vibration were varied in our experiments. Our results show that the mean contact time of a 10µL
droplet consistently decreased linearly as the vibration frequency increased, though the standard deviations drastically increased. The ice accretion in the second phase of the testing also had significant variance, which obfuscated any reliable trend from the introduction of vibration.

▼ Dry ice, traditionally, has found tremendous application in food storage and blast cleaning. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in exploiting the sublimating vapor of dry ice as a liquid repellent for contactless transport thereby reducing drag. This work investigates the
impact of a hexadecane drop on a sublimating layer of dry ice at room temperature. The sublimating CO2 layer formed above the dry ice is compressed as the drop approaches the solid surface. Liquids which have lower specific heat capacity and latent heat comparatively can therefore freeze partially before bouncing at certain low Weber numbers. This unravels a hitherto unknown regime as current literature describes bouncing at low Weber numbers which is immediately followed by sticking and freezing at higher Weber for a given class of fluids. We thus examine the
impact of a hexadecane drop below its capillary length on dry ice which exhibits this kind of behavior. The applicability of hexadecane as phase change material (PCM) also makes its use attractive in such a study. As the hexadecane drop spreads on this vapor cushion partial freezing ensures the movement of the contact line is arrested and we observe lower maximum drop spread (Dmax) values viz-Ã -viz
impact on Super hydrophobic or Leidenfrost drops which display similar behavior. Furthermore, the drop is acted upon by hydrodynamic instabilities which lead to formation of fingers which give rise to an interesting petal shaped pattern. Our study aims characteristics these various morphological transitions in this regime where there is partial freezing accompanied by bouncing and sticking depending on the
impact Weber number. This research thus aims to further our knowledge of drop
impact on dry ice with the view of helping us better understand development of liquid repellant coatings and application where drag reductions is important.

▼ A parallel, three-dimensional multiphase fluid flow solver was employed to model the physics of droplet coalescence, bubble entrapment, bubble impact, and Marangoni convection in a sprayed liquid layer. The results are relevant to understanding the formation of common defects in paint films such as non-uniform thickness, bubble entrapment and surface patterns. Coalescence of unequal sized droplets eventually results in the smaller droplet being drawn into the larger droplet. Droplets sprayed on a solid surface do not form a uniform film but agglomerate in large liquid masses. Air bubbles are entrapped under impacting droplets because of increased pressure in the air film between the droplets and the solid surface. The substrate orientation and liquid-solid contact angle influence the number of bubbles remaining in a liquid film. Once liquid motion stops, buoyancy forces drive the bubbles towards the substrate for a downward facing substrate. Depending on the bubble approach velocity and substrate properties the bubbles may either attach to the surface or bounce off. In evaporating liquid films, surface tension gradients create Marangoni flows that transport bubbles along with them and may force them to the free liquid surface where they break through and escape. Marangoni convection flows can also deform the surface of paint films and create orange peel defects.

▼ Cell printing is an emerging technology that uses droplets to deliver cells to desired positions with resolution potentially comparable to the size of single cells. In particular, ink–jet based cell printing technique has been successfully used to build simple bio–constructs and has shown a promise in building complex bio–structures or even organs. Two important issues in ink–jet based cell printing are the moderate survival rate of delicate cells and the limited cell placement resolution. Resolving these issues is critical for the ink–jet based cell printing techniques to realize their full potential. In this work, we use numerical simulations to reconstruct the
impact of a
droplet loaded with a single cell onto a pool of viscous fluids to gain insights into the
droplet and cell dynamics during cell printing. We developed a mathematical model for this process: the
droplet, pool and air are modeled as Newtonian fluids, and their flow is modeled as a laminar flow governed by the Navier–Stokes equation. The cell is modeled as an axisymmetric solid object governed by the neo–Hookean law and also has a shear viscosity that is the same as that of its host
droplet. To numerically solve the coupled fluid and cell motion, we used a hybrid method in which fluid flow is solved on a fixed Cartesian grid and the deformation of solid body is solved on a Lagrangian mesh. We also developed a new full Eulerian method, termed the solid level set (SLS) method, to simulate cell printing. The key idea is to track the deformation of the solid body using four level set functions on a fixed Cartesian grid instead of using a Lagrangian mesh. The SLS method is easy to implement and addresses several challenges in simulations of fluid–tructure interactions using hybrid Eulerian/Lagrangian meshes. Using codes developed based on the above methods, we systematically investigated the fluid and cell dynamics during the cell printing process. We studied how the
droplet penetration depth,
droplet lateral spreading, cell stress and cell surface area change are affected by printing conditions such as
impact velocity, pool depth, and cell stiffness. Our simulations indicate that cell experiences significant stress (∼20kPa) and local surface area dilation (∼100%) during the
impact process. The latter suggests that cell membrane is temporally ruptured during the printing process, and is consistent with the gene transfection observed during cell printing. We speculate that the survival of cell through the rather violent cell printing process may be related to the briefness of the
impact process, which only lasts about 0.1 milliseconds. Based on our simulation results, several strategies have been proposed to reduce the stress and membrane dilation of cells during cell printing.

▼ Nous étudions les mécanismes d’endommagement dus à l’érosion pluie sur des matériaux massifs et sur des matériaux revêtus. Pour cela, un banc d’essais spécifique a permis de mener des recherches en laboratoire. Le principe de l’essai repose sur l’émission de jets à haute vitesse et à haute fréquence.L’étude des matériaux massifs met en évidence un mécanisme de propagation de fissures par fatigue qui aboutit à des pertes de matière. Ces mêmes endommagements ont été observés sur des échantillons usés en service. Il a été confirmé que la dureté augmente la résistance à l’érosion pluie des matériaux métalliques.L’étude des revêtements s’est focalisée sur 2 technologies, à savoir la pulvérisation cathodique magnétron, qui est un procédé de déposition phase vapeur, et la projection thermique sous flamme supersonique. Les revêtements obtenus par projection thermique (dont l’épaisseur était supérieure à 200 μm), se sont révélés moins résistants à cause d’un manque d’adhérence ou de la présence de défauts au sein du matériau. Les revêtements obtenus par PVD (dont l’épaisseur était inférieure à 30 μm) ont permis d’obtenir des gains de résistance significatifs. Dans tous les cas, quel que soit la technologie utilisée, l’adhérence du revêtement s’est révélé être un paramètre critique en ce qui concerne la résistance de la surface à l’érosion pluie. Enfin, une simulation numérique en dynamique a permis d’étudier les champs de contraintes dans des feuillets métalliques, et ce, en faisant varier leurs épaisseurs, les matériaux qui les composent, et la vitesse d’impact. Les résultats de la simulation tendent à prouver que la propagation des ondes de contraintes dans le matériau peut entrainer des phénomènes de sur-contraintes dans les feuillets les plus fins à cause de la réflexion des ondes sur la face antérieure de la plaque.
The study deals with the rain erosion mechanisms of both bulk and coated materials. For that purpose, a specific test bench has been built, enabling laboratory research. The principle of the test is based on the emission of high-speed water jets at high frequency.Studying bulk materials confirmed the positive influence of hardness on rain erosion resistance for metallic materials. The mechanism found responsible for material losses is the propagation of fatigue cracks. These fatigue damages were also observed on in-service worn out samples.The analysis of coated materials focused on two covering technologies, namely physical vapor magnetron sputtering deposition (Magnetron PVD) and high velocity oxy-fuel coating spraying (HVOF). The coatings obtained by HVOF (> 200μm) weren’t resistant enough due to lack of adhesion and/or due to specific defects within the material. The coatings obtained by PVD (< 30μm) have yielded to significant improvements on the surface resistance. However, the adhesion of the coating appeared as a critical parameter for the rain erosion resistance.Finally, a numerical simulation has been designed to study dynamic stress fields in metal sheets. Moreover the model allowed the sheets…

▼ The inhibiting effect of a sharp edge on liquid spreading is well observed during drop interaction with textured surfaces. On groove-textured solid surfaces comprising unidirectional parallel grooves, the edge effect of posts results in the squeezing of drop liquid in the direction perpendicular to the grooves and the stretching of drop liquid along the grooves leading to anisotropy in drop flow, popularly known as wetting anisotropy which has been employed in several engineering applications. A recent study observed that the energy loss incurring at the edges of posts via contact angle hysteresis is primarily responsible for the anisotropic spreading of impacting drops on groove-textured surfaces. The present study aims to elucidate the role of edges on the spreading and receding dynamics of water drops. The experiments of drop
impact are carried out on semi-infinite rectangular post comprising a pair of parallel 90-deg edges separated by a distance (post width) comparable to the diameter of impacting drop. The equilibrium shape of drops on the semi-infinite rectangular post is analyzed using open source computational tool Surface Evolver to optimize the ratio of initial
droplet diameter to post width. Quantitative measurements of drop
impact dynamics on semi-infinite rectangular posts are deduced by analysing high speed videos of
impact process captured under three different camera views during experiments. Based on the role of post edges on impacting drops, different regimes of the impacting drops are characterized in terms of drop Weber number and the ratio of diameter of impacting drop to post width. Characteristic features of
impact dynamics in each of the regimes are identified and discussed. It is seen that edges play a pivotal role on all stages of
impact dynamics regardless of Weber number. Impacts in the regime of completely pinned drops on narrow posts are further analyzed to reveal characteristics of post-spreading oscillations.

▼ The study of
impact, spreading, and recoil of
droplets of aqueous solutions of polymeric and surfactant additives
on horizontal hydrophobic (Teflon) and hydrophilic (glass) surfaces
is presented in this thesis. The non-Newtonian aqueous polymer
solutions are prepared by mixing the water-soluble hydroxyethyl
cellulose (HEC) with varying degree of polymerization (QPC 300, 250
HR, and 250 HHR) at different concentrations. The solution
rheological and interfacial properties are characterized to
understand the role of wettability, surface tension, and viscosity
on the
droplet surface interactions. For each polymer solution, the
surface tension is measured by the maximum bubble pressure method
and the static contact angle is measured using a contact
angle/wettability analyzer. Intrinsic viscosities of the three
polymers are determined from the viscosity measurements of their
dilute solutions carried out using a capillary tube
viscometer. A high speed digital camera is used
to capture the
droplet impact behavior at 4000 frames per second.
The captured images of the
droplet are analyzed using an
image-processing software and the temporal variations of the
spreading factor and the flattening factor of the
droplet are
determined. Results show that the higher viscosity coupled with
lower surface tension of the polymer solutions leads to larger
spread compared to a water
droplet and inhibits strong recoil on a
hydrophobic surface. Computational simulations of
the fluid flow and heat transfer during spreading, recoil,
rebound/break up of hot droplets of water and aqueous solutions of
two surfactants (SDS and Triton-X 100) on a Teflon surface have
been carried out at We ∼ 28. The continuity, momentum conservation,
and the energy conservation equations are solved simultaneously
using a finite volume method to determine the drop shape evolution
and the drop-substrate heat transfer. The Volume-of-fluid or VOF
method is used to track the liquid-gas interface deformations
during spreading and recoil. By comparing the water and surfactant
solution
droplet impact dynamics at the same Weber number, it is
evident that the surfactant solution drops produce larger initial
spread and weaker recoil due to the reduction in surface tension at
the liquid-air interface and the change in the wettability of the
liquid-solid interface. The increased contact area leads to higher
rate of heat transfer for a surfactant solution
droplet compared to
that for a water drop. The Triton X-100 with its lower mobility is
less effective in increasing the drop-substrate heat transfer
compared to SDS which has a higher
mobility.

▼ Droplet freezing is important both in nature and in technology. In this thesis I investigate the fundamentals of freezing water droplets and derive design criteria for the development of intrinsically ice-repellent materials. Such icephobic surfaces could improve the performance and safety of a multitude of technical processes in energy and transport. This includes for example heat exchangers, where ice built-up reduces thermal transport, and airplane flight, where freezing of water on airfoils can result in catastrophic events. The thesis consists of three individual studies.
In the first study we investigated how the environmental conditions during
droplet freezing affect the freezing outcome. We found that evaporatively or convectively supercooled water droplets resting on solid substrate can self-remove during freezing. This phenomenon, which we termed self-dislodging, requires that the heat removal from the droplet’s free surface dominates the heat removal through the solid substrate. Consequently, the freezing front moves from the outside of the
droplet towards the center and from the top to the bottom, resulting in a solid ice shell with an unsolidified core and an unfrozen
droplet-substrate interface. We observed experimentally that the inward motion of the phase boundary near the substrate drives a gradual reduction in
droplet-substrate contact. Concurrently, due to the volumetric expansion associated with freezing, semi-frozen water is displaced towards the
droplet-substrate interface lifting the freezing
droplet away from the substrate. The combined effects of dewetting and lifting result in
droplet self-removal. We found that the more the substrate is hydrophobic the more robust self-dislodging occurs.
In the second study we examined how multiple water droplets interact during freezing in a low-pressure environment. Understanding
droplet interactions during freezing is important as droplets do not appear in isolation, but always in groups. We found that the freezing of a supercooled
droplet results in self-heating and induces strong vaporization. The resulting, rapidly propagating vapor front causes immediate cascading freezing of neighboring supercooled droplets upon reaching them. We suggest that as the vapor approaches cold neighboring droplets,
it can lead to local supersaturation and formation of airborne microscopic ice crystals, which act as freezing nucleation sites. The sequential triggering and propagation of this mechanism results in the rapid freezing of an entire
droplet ensemble resulting in ice coverage of the solid surface.
In the third study we introduced a controllable and upscalable method to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces with
a 3D-printed architecture for improved repellency of viscous liquids. We show a more than threefold contact time reduction of impacting viscous droplets up to a fluid viscosity of 3.7mPa s, which covers the viscosity of supercooled water down to -17 °C. Based on the combined consideration of the fluid flow within and the simultaneous
droplet dynamics…

▼ Two new mechanisms of droplet splashing and breakup during impact have been identified and analyzed. One is the internal rupture of spreading droplet film through formation of holes, and the other is the splashing of droplet due to its freezing during spreading. The mechanism of film rupture was investigated by two different methods. In the first method, circular water films were produced by directing a 1 mm diameter water jet onto a flat, horizontal plate for 10 ms. In the second method, films were produced by making 0.6 mm water droplets impact a solid surface mounted on the rim of a rotating flywheel. Substrate wettability was varied over a wide range, including superhydrophobic. In both cases, the tendency to film rupture first increased and then decreased with contact angle. A thermodynamic stability analysis predicted this behavior by showing that films would be stable at very small or very large contact angle, but unstable in between. Film rupture was also found to be promoted by increasing surface roughness or decreasing film thickness. To study the effect of solidification, the impact of molten tin droplets (0.6 mm diameter) on solid surfaces was observed for a range of impact velocities (10 to 30 m/s), substrate temperatures (25 to 200°C) and substrate materials (stainless steel, aluminum and glass) using the rotating flywheel apparatus. Droplets splashed extensively on a cold surface but on a hot surface there was no splashing. Splashing could be completely suppressed by either increasing the substrate temperature or reducing its thermal diffusivity. An analytical model was developed to predict this splashing behavior. The above two theories of freezing-induced splashing and film rupture were combined to predict the morphology of splats typically observed in a thermal spray process. A dimensionless solidification parameter, which takes into account factors such as the droplet diameter and velocity, substrate temperature, splat and substrate thermophysical properties, and thermal contact resistance between the two, was developed. Predictions from the model were compared with a wide range of experimental data and found to agree well.

▼ Dynamic behavior of impacting water drops on superhydrophobic solid surfaces provides important details on the stability/durability of such solid surfaces. Multi-scale surface roughness combined with a layer of low energy chemical is an essential surface modification process followed to create superhydrophobic capabilities on solid surfaces. The present work aims at studying the effect of low energy surface coating on
droplet impact dynamics by carrying out experiments of water drop impacts on rough solid surfaces with and without chemical modification. A group of six aluminium alloy (Al6061) surfaces (three pairs) are prepared. Roughness, characterized in terms mean surface roughness, Ra, is introduced to these metallic surfaces using sand-paper polishing, electric discharge machining (EDM), and chemical based surface etching process. Low energy surface layer is laid on the rough surfaces by coating NeverWet hydrophobic solution, octadecyl-trichloro-silane (OTS), and perfluorodecyltricholorosilane (FAS-17). The
impact dynamics of water drops is analyzed by capturing high speed videos for a range of drop Weber number from 1 to 570 and the salient features of drop
impact process on the coated rough surfaces are compared with the corresponding uncoated rough surfaces. A one-to-one comparison on the spreading, fingering, receding, and final equilibrium of impacting drops on the coated and uncoated target surfaces is presented.
Upon coating NeverWet, the original surface features of the base aluminium surface are completely covered by the hydrophobic coating material resulting in a fresh top surface layer. The outcomes as well as the bounce-off characteristics of impacting water drops on the coated surface are comparable to those observed on lotus leaf. The surface morphology features of rough aluminium surfaces coated with OTS and FAS-17 are comparable to those of the corresponding uncoated surfaces. The quantitative measurements on primary spreading and maximum spread factor of impacting drops are largely unaffected by the presence of low energy chemical coating. The dominant effect of surface coating is seen on the receding of impacting drops and hence the final drop configuration. This behavior is more prominently seen on EDM fabricated rough surface (larger Ra) combined with OTS coating than that on etching based rough surface (smaller Ra) combined with FAS-17 coating highlighting the dependence of coating effect with roughness features.

▼ An aircraft may experience in-flight ice accretion and corresponding reductions in
performance and control when the vehicle encounters clouds of super-cooled water
droplets. The EADS-IW Surface Engineering Group is investigating passive anti-icing
possibilities, such as functional and ice phobic coatings. Ice-resistant coatings require
investigating
droplet impact on dry surfaces and wet films, including microscopic effects
such as
droplet splashing. To investigate
droplet impacts, a volume of fluid (VOF) flow
solver was used for droplets impacting dry and wetted hydrophobic and
superhydrophobic surfaces, focusing on meso-scale simulations. The effects of
structured, micro-scale surface roughness and the effects of a thin wet film on the surface,
corresponding to a saturated surface under high humidity conditions, were investigated.
Axisymmetric domains produced acceptable results for smooth, dry surfaces. It was
determined that in order to properly predict behavior of droplets impacting surfaces with
structured micro-scale roughness, three-dimensional simulations are recommended.

▼ A parallel GPU compatible Lagrangian mesh free particle solver for multiphase fluid flow based on SPH scheme is developed and used to capture the interface evolution during droplet impact. Surface tension is modeled employing the multiphase scheme of Hu et al. (2006). In order to precisely simulate the wetting phenomena, a method based on the work of Å ikalo et al. (2005) is jointly used with the model proposed by Afkhami et al. (2009) to ensure accurate dynamic contact angle calculations. Accurate predictions were obtained for droplet contact angle during spreading.
A two-dimensional analytical model is developed as an expansion to the work of Chandra et al. (1991). Results obtain from the solver agrees well to this analytical results.
Effects of memory management techniques along with a variety of task assigning algorithms on GPU are studied. GPU speedups of up to 120 times faster than a single processor CPU were obtained.

▼ Droplet dynamics involves multi-scale forces from inertia body force, interior viscous shear stress to surface tension. The main purpose of this thesis is to simulate the normal impact of a liquid droplet on a hydrophobic surface by solving for the Navier[nil]Stokes equations. The numerical results obtained is used to evaluate the effects of variable parameters on the droplet deformation evolution. The numerical simulation also works as a complimentary part of the experimental exploration, by the group members in the Droplet-Surface Impact Project in Northeastern University.; The computational tool used is OpenFOAM, an open source CFD software package licensed and distributed by the OpenFOAM Foundation. The specific solver used is interFoam for this two phase problem. Water is modeled as a representative of the Newtonian fluids, while blood is modeled to represent non-Newtonian fluids. Multiple variables of the droplet-surface impact are investigated numerically: initial velocity, droplet diameter, transport properties, all of which contributes to a variation of the Weber number.; The numerical results obtained for water droplets are supported by experimental data and also semi-empirical correlations. The spreading behavior and generation of ripples are in good agreement with that observed in the experimental tests. As the capillary effects become more dominant in the recoiling period, a discrepancy starts to show by a pre-maturely generated secondary droplet in simulation. Possible reasons are speculated for this discrepancy between numerical and experimental results.; In the numerical comparison between water and blood droplets, a resemblance of droplet behavior in the initial spreading process is observed, while the recoiling process shows differences: blood droplets rebound in an "irregular" way compared to water droplets. The difference in deformation behaviors caused by varied transport properties leads to a way of distinguishing liquids by simple droplet-surface impact tests.

The purpose of these experiments was to try to understand how the shape of the bubbles, formed from a small lower orifice, is affected by aspects of viscosity. The two major directions of investigation involved bubble formation in (i) single and finite liquid layers of varying viscosity and (ii) multiple layers of varying viscosities, to create a viscosity gradient. The experiments were inspired by recent observations of Focused Ion Beam FIB movies of thermal sprayed obsidian splats, in which different elongated `frozen' bubbles exist. It was hypothesized that the rapidly cooling obsidian would therefore have bubbles growing in a thermal gradient, leading to a viscosity gradient from bottom to top.; The results indicated that the process of bubble formation and detachment from the orifice is strongly affected by the viscosity gradient. Elongation in bubble shape, changes in the geometry of bubble, growth dynamics and growth time were the parameters that proved the effect of viscosity gradient compared to the case of finite layer of single viscosity. The resulted bubbles were also very close in shape to those observed in FIB movies. These findings lead to a better understanding of the process of bubble formation occurring in splats and provide a potential to control the shape and formation of bubbles in thermal spray process.

▼ The present thesis focuses on the study of
droplet behavior within the framework of two classes of emerging technologies, related to the development of elastic superhydrophobic or icephobic materials with extreme performance and to the realization of contactless acoustophoretic DNA transfection, respectively. To this end, first we examine the collaborative effects of substrate flexibility, topography, and composition on enhancing surface superhydrophobicity and icephobicity, as defined by
droplet impalement resistance, contact time and restitution coefficient, and use such knowledge in redesigning superhydrophobic and icephobic materials to repel supercooled droplets. Subsequently, we investigate the use of acoustophoretic actuation for contactless processing of liquid droplets containing living cells and design a containerless biological reactor appropriate to carry out DNA transfection experiments in a contactless manner.
Flexible materials are ubiquitous in everyday life and technology, from textiles to insect wings and plant leaves; however, the effect of flexibility on the wetting and
droplet impact dynamics under broad environmental conditions is not well understood. The concept investigated here is how the flexibility of the substrate—defined by its stiffness, damping and areal density—can be made to work collaboratively with surface chemistry and texturing in order to enhance superhydrophobicity.
Droplet impact experiments reveal that the rational tuning of flexibility is able to achieve improved water repellency as characterized by the impalement and breakup resistance, contact time reduction and restitution coefficient increase. Designing flexible substrates with low-areal density and stiffness imparts immediate responsiveness to the substrate for impacting droplets, mitigating the collision and lowering the impalement probability without the need for an active mechanism. The aforementioned effects on drop
impact dynamics are rationalized through appropriate modeling and exemplified by man-made and natural materials.
The previous knowledge of manipulating droplets with flexible substrates is then applied in the design of icephobic materials. Surface icing is omnipresent in equipment installed outdoors and can cause deterioration of performance, e.g. in wind turbine blades and power lines, and serious safety hazard, e.g. in aviation. The flexible superhydrophobic materials were designed to absorb the energy of incoming droplets and to boost
droplet mobility by releasing the absorbed energy at a later time. The design was optimized using highly viscous droplets for simplicity (mimicking supercooled water viscosity), like glycerol and honey, which do not rebound from rigid superhydrophobic surfaces. Then it was validated with water droplets at supercooled temperatures. The partial solidification of the supercooled droplets in the presence of nucleation promoting particles on the surface did not impede the solidifying droplets from rebounding, demonstrating a passive mechanism for shedding ice-water…

▼ Droplets. Droplets are omnipresent: from rain droplets, over ink-jet printers, to advanced heat exchangers and thermal management systems. But in order to use droplets to our advantage, we need to study and understand how they interact with surfaces. Throughout this dissertation, I use optical photography and high speed imaging to characterize
droplet-solid interactions.
When liquid water comes into contact with a hydrophobic surface, such as Teflon, it forms individual droplets. The contact angle that the
droplet develops with the surface is well understood in an air environment. However, when placed in a pure water vapor environment, I show that contact angles can decrease by up to 10% as compared to those in air. At the same time, on micro- and nanostructured surfaces, the vapor environment has little effect on the static contact angles. Based on Young’s equation and Fowke’s concept of the additivity of surface tensions, I propose that the decrease in contact angle on flat hydrophobic Teflon arises from molecular water vapor adsorption to the Teflon surface.
In many engineering applications, the use of metals, as opposed to silicon and polymers, is desired to render surfaces water and oil repellent. I introduce micro electrical discharge machining (mEDM) as a viable tool to fabricate scalable micro-mushrooms (~ 100 µm) on steel blocks (~ 1 cm). I show that narrow micro-mushrooms with wide spacing give the highest contact angles (θA/θR = 170°/151°) and
droplet mobility with water, while microstructures with flat tops, strong re-entrant curvature and smaller gap widths are necessary to support non-wetting droplets with liquids with a low surface tension, such as oils and alcohols (θA/θR = 148°/74° with isopropanol).
After studying static and quasi-static
droplet-surface interactions, I continued characterizing
droplet dynamics during
impact on micro- and nanostructured surfaces. Contact times during
impact on rigid surfaces are constant over a wide range of
impact speeds, and are thus difficult to control. I show that contact times of water droplets impacting elastic superhydrophobic surfaces can be reduced by up to 50% when compared to
impact on rigid surfaces due to a springboard effect, during which
droplet lifts off the surface prior to fully recoiling. Upon
impact, the
droplet excites the substrate to oscillate, while during liquid retraction, the substrate imparts vertical momentum back to the
droplet, causing early
droplet lift-off with reduced contact time. Through detailed experimental and theoretical analysis, I show that this novel springboarding phenomenon is achieved for a specific range of Weber numbers (We > 40) and
droplet Froude numbers during spreading (Fr > 1).
For droplets impacting vibrating superhydrophobic surfaces (60-320 Hz), I show that vibration frequency and phase at
impact strongly influence the contact time of the bouncing droplets. I introduce the concept of a frequency-dependent critical
impact phase at which contact times transition from a minimum (tc ≈ 0.5 tc,th) to a maximum…

▼ Electric charges are often found in naturally or artificially formed droplets, such as raindrops, waterfall, and inkjet printer. Neutral droplets
impact on flat surfaces will usually trap a bubble inside because of the viscosity of air. The air bubble entrapped can be ignored if the
droplet is water because the air bubble will eventually pinch-off. However, if the
droplet is metal or some other viscous liquid, the air bubble will stay inside the liquid. This entrapped air bubble is undesired under some circumstances. For example, the existence of air bubble during metal 3D printing can influence the physical property. I show that the delicate gas thin film can be fundamentally altered for even weakly charged droplets both experimentally and numerically. As the charge level is raised above a critical level of about 1% of the maximum charges a
droplet can carry for representative
impact conditions, the electric stress will dominate the deformation of
droplet. A conical liquid tip forms at the
droplet bottom, avoiding the entrapment of air bubble. The critical charge level is experimentally proved to be only dependent on the gas viscosity and
impact velocity. The deformation applies to common liquids and molten alloy droplets. Even dielectric surfaces can also induce conical deformation. The charged droplets can also deform upon hydrophobic surfaces, and increase the contact time on hydrophobic surfaces or even avoid bouncing.

▼ The dynamics of liquid droplet impact on a super-hydrophobic surface was investigated experimentally and theoretically. The reactions of Newtonian droplet impact on a super-hydrophobic surface at low impact velocities (0-1.7m/s) and low Weber numbers (0 - 200) were revisited. The work further extended the investigation to non-Newtonian drops such as shear-thickening cornstarch and shear-thinning blood. The spreading dynamics of pure water, milk, 15wt.% cornstarch colloidal solution and healthy rabbit blood drops were studied by experiments and compared to the previous reported theoretical models. While the Roisman's model agreed well with the Newtonian drop spreading, a large deviation was observed in the experiments with non-Newtonian drops, especially of blood. Further theoretical analysis revealed the effects of the blood shear thinning properties on the droplet spreading. With the knowledge of the experimental spreading dynamics, we developed a rim instability theory to explain the fingering behavior by modifying the classical Rayleigh-Plateau instability. Our model accurately predicted the fingering behavior of water, milk and cornstarch drops, but over-estimated the blood droplet fingering at high impact Weber numbers (greater than 105). Based on the preliminary theoretical analysis, the shear thinning of blood, caused by the red blood cells deformability, was believed as the reason for the deviations in fingering. Following the discussions of spreading and fingering, the stability of the liquid jet was investigated experimentally where the jet breakup modes as well as mode transition were introduced. The jet evolution maps were created for water, milk and cornstarch droplets based on the experiments. Similar to the spreading and fingering, the extraordinary stability of the blood droplet was observed in jetting and was coined as 'shear-thinning inertia-driven stability'. The investigations on jetting filled the vacuum in research on droplet impact. Furthermore, our work initiated the research on the dynamics of blood droplet impact. The 'shear-thinning inertia-driven stability' creates a connection between the blood dynamics and the red blood cells deformability which suggests an important potential application: early diagnosis of blood diseases.

▼ Les impacts de gouttes sur paroi chaude sont présents dans de multiples domaines, tels que l'injection de diesel sous forme de spray dans des moteurs à combustions internes, ou le traitement thermiques de l'acier dans le domaine de la sidérurgie. L'étude de l'interactions goutte/paroi permet de mieux comprendre les phénomènes thermiques mis en jeu, et ainsi d'aboutir à des économies d'énergies et d'eau. De nombreux travaux portent sur cette thématique, mais ils présentent des résultats divergents et uniquement basés sur l'étude de la paroi chaude. Cette thèse a pour but d'apporter des mesures expérimentales sur les caractéristiques inconnues en étudiant les gouttes. Pour cela, un dispositif expérimental a été mis au point afin de mener à bien l'ensemble des mesures souhaitées. Les diverses techniques de mesures de température utilisées sont présentées, et une attention plus particulière a été portée sur le développement de la technique de fluorescence induite par plan laser qui permet d'accéder au champ de température des gouttes durant leur impact. Cette méthode, combinée à une technique de thermographie par caméra infrarouge couplée à un modèle de conduction inverse, permet d'extraire les paramètres concernant l'aspect thermique, et de déterminer de nouvelles caractéristiques inédites, telles que l'échauffement des gouttes, l'évaporation relative de celles-ci ou encore l'efficacité de refroidissement. Les parts respectives jouées par la chaleur sensible et l'évaporation des gouttes sont tirées de cette dernière. Enfin, l'aspect dynamique est également abordé aboutissant au développement d'une technique d'ombroscopie rapide. Cette dernière a permis, grâce à la combinaison de mesures de diamètres précises et d'une fréquence d'acquisition élevée, d'extraire les paramètres dynamiques de l'impact tels que la vitesse et taille des gouttes, ou d'autres paramètres relatif au type d'impact rencontrés à l'aide d'un algorithme de suivi de particules développé durant la thèse
The droplet impact onto a heated wall interaction can be found in mutiples fields, such as internal combustion engines or the steel industry, specially in the thermal treatment of the steel where high energy dissipation rate is required. The study of this interaction should grant a better understanding of this phenomena, and thus, allow the enhancement of these processes and reduce the energy and water consumption. Several studies have already been carried out on this subjet but a great majority of them, whose results present great divergence, only consider the heated wall, neglecting the outgoing of the droplet. This thesis put the emphasis on the liquid phase where currently no data exist to our knowledge, with the help of multiples experimental technics that have been developped. A general experimental setup has been made in order to make all the wanted measurements. The measurement techniques used in this study are first presented, to begin with the planar laser induced fluorescence, which allow us to know the droplet temperature during the impact.…
