An analytical solution is proposed to predict the crown propagation, generated by a single droplet impact on wetted walls. This approach enables a smooth transition from the inertia-driven to the viscous-controlled regime of crown propagation. The modelling strategy is based on the stagnation-point flow, because it resembles closely the hydrodynamic flow in the lamella and offers two main advantages. First, it allows a simple estimation of the wall-film thinning rate, caused by the impulse transfer from the impacting droplet to the wall film. Second, thanks to the self-similarity of the solution, it enables a straightforward estimation of momentum losses during film spreading along the wall. By incorporating this estimation into existing inviscid models, an excellent agreement with experiments is found during the entire crown elevation phase. In general, the analysis shows that momentum losses due to viscous effects cannot be neglected during a significant portion of crown propagation, particularly for thin wall films. The proposed methodology paves the way for predicting the inception of crown bottom breakup (CBB). In this case, the crown lamella disintegrates directly at its base due to the spontaneous creation of holes that create a web-like structure in the lamella prior to its break-up. Our theoretical analysis shows that this premature break-up of the crown lamella is associated to local instability effects, caused by the unbalance between inertial forces and surface tension.
This paper represents a theoretical and an experimental study of the spreading dynamics of a liquid droplet, generated by a needle free deposition system called the liquid needle droplet deposition technique. This technique utilizes a continuous liqu
When a liquid drop impacts on a heated substrate, it can remain deposited, or violently boil in contact, or lift off with or without ever touching the surface. The latter is known as the Leidenfrost effect. The duration and area of the liquid--substr
Analytical solutions in fluid dynamics can be used to elucidate the physics of complex flows and to serve as test cases for numerical models. In this work, we present the analytical solution for the acoustic boundary layer that develops around a rigi

A novel volume of fluid model (VoF) called explicit volume diffusion (EVD) is developed for the simulation of interfacial flows, including those with turbulence and primary spray atomisation. The EVD model is derived by volume averaging the VoF equat
