Comparison of cryogenic and non-cryogenic droplet impact dynamics at low Weber numbers.

ABSTRACT: Cryogenic fluids are crucial in applications such as rockets, cryosurgery and energy storage, where they can come in contact with surfaces. Thus, their impact dynamics are of interest. Experiments under cryogenic conditions are very expensive and not always accurate, mainly due to limitations of equipment operating in very low temperatures. Although simulation tools can provide useful insights, currently very few commercial and open-source software tailored for ultra low temperature conditions exist. In this work we present a novel numerical framework used to provide insight into the impact dynamics of cryogenic droplets with solid surfaces. Our aim is to explore whatever conclusions for droplet spreading dynamics from the current literature for droplets at non-cryogenic conditions can be
