Investigation of the Behaviour of Supercooled Droplets Concerning Evaporation, Sublimation and Freezing Under Different Boundary Conditions

Abstract Phase change processes of supercooled droplets at different boundary conditions are presented. This study is a summary the current developments within subproject B1 SFB-TRR 75 with focus on evaporation, sublimation, and freezing droplets. To this end, new numerical methods to describe phase transition were developed novel strategies dealing challenges under extreme The solution procedure all changes summarized in compact way work. In order validate models, experiments conducted. For this, experimental setups approaches developed. These comprise test chamber for optical levitation droplets, which able trap droplet by means laser beam subzero temperatures variable ambient humidity. Comparisons simulations conducted presented several processes. results very good agreement proof capability methods.
