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…

Dynamic Leidenfrost effect: relevant time- and length-scales

Minori Shirota, Michiel A. J. van Limbeek, Chao Sun +2

When a liquid droplet impacts a hot solid surface, enough vapor may be generated under it as to prevent its contact with the solid. The minimum solid temperature for this so-called…

Surface nanobubbles as a function of gas type

Michiel van Limbeek, James Seddon

We experimentally investigate the nucleation of surface nanobubbles on PFDTS-coated silicon as a function of the specific gas dissolved in the water. In each case we restrict ourse…
