Abstract
A theoretical model for droplet spreading and solidification has been developed which accounts for simultaneous effects of surface tension, solidification and thermal contact resistance. Based on this model, an analytic solution for splat flattening ratio has been obtained as a function of Reynolds, Weber, Prandtl and Jakob numbers. Two different regimes, in terms of Reynolds and Weber numbers, have been identified where either the viscous dissipation or surface tension dominates. A map for splat flattening ratio has been generated for Reynolds number in the range of 10 4–10 6 and Weber number in the range of 5–5000.
