Abstract:Lack of knowledge on nucleation with mechanical disturbances hinders researchers in understanding the anti-icing properties of superhydrophobic surfaces. In this research, experiments are designed to observe the freezing process of a supercooled water droplet at [Formula: see text] with different levels of external disturbances by changing the impact velocity, and the nucleation rates are statistically analyzed. It is found that compared with the static state, the nucleation rates of droplets during the collis… Show more
