Reducing the contact time of impinging droplets on non-wetting surfaces

This work examines the use of macro-textured surfaces to reduce the contact time between impinging liquid droplets and non-wetting surfaces. Six macro-texture geometries are evaluated for their impact on maximum deformation diameters and contact time. The geometries considered are a set of spokes ex...
