- Understanding droplet impact on hot surfaces is key to many industrial applications such as spray cooling, spray combustion and fire suppression. This article is significant because it proposes a novel conjugate heat transfer solver, validated by high-speed infrared thermography, to study droplet impact cooling. The direct comparison of numerical and experimental temperature fields revealed a non-homogenous cooling of the surface, which is for the first time correlated with the droplet dynamics. A new relation between the vorticity field within the spreading droplet and the local heat transfer coefficient is suggested, underpinning a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship proposal (MR/W010844/1, in review).
