Physical characteristics of soil-biodegradable and nonbiodegradable plastic mulches impact conidial splash dispersal of Botrytis cinerea. by Xuechun Wang, Chakradhar Mattupalli, Gary Chastagner, Lydia Tymon, Zixuan Wu, Sunghwan Jung, Hang Liu, Lisa Wasko DeVetter

“…Irrespective of distance from the inoculum source, embossed BDM facilitated higher total and germinated splashed conidia (P<0.001) compared to PE mulch and weedmat (P = 0.43 and P = 0.23, respectively), indicating BDM's or embossed film's potential for enhancing B. cinerea inoculum availability in strawberry production under plasticulture. …”

Droplet impact on heated powder bed by Liu, Dongdong, Tan, Hong-Wei, Tran, Tuan

“…The impact of droplets on a heated powder bed involves a wide range of phenomena with increasing complexity from spreading of liquid, to bubble nucleation, to more complex ones such as splashing, crater formation, and fluidization. In this study, we focus on the impact behaviors caused by elevation in temperature of the powder bed. …”

Impact of droplets onto surfactant-laden thin liquid films by Constante-Amores, CR, Kahouadji, L, Shin, S, Chergui, J, Juric, D, Matar, OK, Castrejon Pita, A

“…We study the effect of insoluble surfactants on the impact of surfactant-free droplets on surfactant-laden thin liquid films via a fully three-dimensional direct numerical simulations approach that employs a hybrid interface-tracking/level-set method, and by taking into account surfactant-induced Marangoni stresses due to gradients in interfacial surfactant concentration. …”

Experimental Study on the Dynamics of a Moving Droplet Impacting a Sessile Droplet by D. Chen, L. Ming, T. Wang, M. Qiu, Z. Lin

“…The phenomenon of droplets impacting sessile droplets of different volumes is different from that of droplets impacting liquid films. In terms of droplet spreading, compression and the non-splashing liquid crown, the phenomena and laws reported in the present study are applicable for 1 ≤ We ≤ 165 and droplet volume ratios of 1 ≤ Vp/Vi ≤ 6. …”

Study on Dynamic Characteristics of Single Droplet Impingement on Heated Liquid Film by Han Wu, Cong Liu, Chunze Cen, Chien-Er Huang, Sheng-Lun Lin

“…The impingement dynamics of the droplets on liquid films have been widely studied. However, there is less focus on the droplet impingements on hot liquid film, which is more representative as a pre-wall combustion condition. …”

Numerical Simulation of Single Droplet Impingement upon Dynamic Liquid Film Obliquely by Shanshan Yang, Quanyuan Zeng, Xiaohua Zhang, Chunzhu Dong, Ling Guan

“…To better understand the application of droplet impingement in industry and agriculture, in this paper, the coupled level set and volume of fluid (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>C</mi><mi>L</mi><mi>S</mi><mi>V</mi><mi>O</mi><mi>F</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) method is applied to study droplet oblique impact on a dynamic liquid film. The conclusions are the following: the downstream crown height increases and then decreases as the impact angle increases, whereas upstream crown height and spreading length decrease significantly; moreover, the spreading length and upstream crown height increase with the increase of film velocity, while the downstream crown height decreases instead. …”
