The numerical simulation of a droplet deformation and solidification on a cold substrate was performed with SMAC algorithm. The substrate temperature histories and the degree of deformation were measured by use of a droplet of n-eicosane and n-cetane. The numerical results showed good agreement with

An experimental and numerical study of solidification characteristics of a droplet on a horizontal cooled wall is reported. Pure water and molten salt were utilized as the testing liquids. The droplet was cooled under a variety of conditions such as wall temperature and initial liquid temperature in
The spontaneous spreading of small liquid droplets on solid surfaces is examined with the objective of developing closed-form expressions for the spreading dynamics, both for the case in which there is complete equilibrium spreading, that is the equilibrium contact angle is Oo, and for the case in w
The heat flow and solidification parameters, such as the temperature gradient and solid-liquid interface velocity, have been studied for the case of a moving heat source on an aluminium substrate. The problem was developed and solved for both the large initial transient and the final quasi steady st
We discuss the influence of the effect of droplet size on the surface tension y and develop a self-consistent method to derive a relation between +y and the droplet radius r. Referring our expression for y(r) to the surface of tension we recover Tolman's result.
