Velocity field and dynamics behavior of a boiling droplet during impact onto a molten phase change material by Mohammadreza Asadi, Mohammad Behshad Shafii, Amirreza Ghahremani

“…As a novelty, to gain a more physical insight into this intricate phenomenon, the velocity field resulting from the impact, perpendicular and parallel to the pool surface, is obtained using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) and high-speed imaging for the first time. Upon impact, maximum velocity is at the lowest point of the crater, equaling approximately 10 % of the impact velocity. …”
