... resulting from the combined effect of incoming impinging mass flow and evaporation mass flow. The sample cases demonstrate that the topology of the water layer, and in particular the droplet size distribution typical of hydrophobic surfaces, actually affects the heat transfer process and anti-icing system...

...Peng Du; Haibao Hu; Feng Ren; Dong Song Purpose The maintenance of the air–water interface is crucial for the drag reduction on hydrophobic surfaces. But the air bubbles become unstable and even washed away under high speed flow, causing the failure of surface hydrophobicity. Thereby, this paper...
