Impact and icing of a single water droplet on smooth and superhydrophobic surfaces: Decoupled modeling of interfacial thermodynamics and bulk solidification

Elucidating the transient impact and icing dynamics of a single water droplet is critical for improving the efficacy of anti-icing agents, but the complex coupling of fluid flow, phase change, and micro-scale interfacial phenomena poses a significant challenge. This study present...
