A three-dimensional numerical study of a single droplet splashing vertically on a liquid film is presented. The numerical method is based on the finite volume method (FVM) of Navier–Stokes equations coupled with the volume of fluid (VOF) method, and the adaptive local mesh refinement technology is adopted. It enables the liquid–gas interface to be tracked more accurately, and to be less computationally expensive. The relationship between the diameter of the free rim, the height of the crown with different numbers of collision Weber, and the thickness of the liquid film is explored. The results indicate that the crown height increases as the Weber number increases, and the diameter of the crown rim is inversely proportional to the collision Weber number. It can also be concluded that the dimensionless height of the crown decreases with the increase in the thickness of the dimensionless liquid film, which has little effect on the diameter of the crown rim during its growth.

A numerical study of mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical channel with a wavy wall is performed. The wavy wall is heated by a constant flux, while the other is adiabatic. The discretisation of equations in both liquid and gas phases is realised using an implicit finite difference scheme. Results of simulation compare the effect of multiple parameters, especially amplitude and characteristic length of the curve, on the liquid film evaporation process. The results indicate that heat and mass transfer is enhanced by increasing the amplitude and number of wall waves. Moreover, a very small value of waves amplitude of the wall may reduce the sensible heat and mass transfer.
