Abstract

Molten sand droplets deposited on gas turbine engine components cause severe damage. To better understand the deposition process, we study the wetting dynamics of a highly viscous molten sand droplet on a smooth substrate. A universal contact line spreading, independent of the droplet size, is observed with the characteristic inertial and viscous spreading regimes. It is also shown that the dynamic contact angle is in excellent agreement with Cox's theory.
