Initial solidification dynamics of spreading droplets
Robin B. J. Koldeweij, Pallav Kant, Kirsten Harth +5
When a droplet is brought in contact with an undercooled surface, it wets the substrate and solidifies at the same time. The interplay between the phase transition effects and the…

Thermal conductance of interleaving fins
M. A. J. van Limbeek, S. Vanapalli
Interleaving fins can significantly increase the heat transfer by increasing the effective area per unit base area. The fins are separated uniformly by a gap, which is filled with…

Asymptotic theory for a Leidenfrost drop on a liquid pool
Michiel A. J. van Limbeek, Benjamin Sobac, Alexey Rednikov +2
Droplets can be levitated by their own vapour when placed onto a superheated plate (the Leidenfrost effect). It is less known that the Leidenfrost effect can likewise be observed o…
