Abstract

Droplet deformation alters its surface areas between various phases, leading to changes in its surface energy. When droplet surface area decreases, excess surface energy is released and converted into kinetic energy, enabling droplet jumping. The characteristic velocity of droplet jumping induced by variations in surface energy is typically above 0.1 m/s, and the jumping phenomenon occurs spontaneously without external energy input. The sufficient jumping velocity and spontaneous characteristics make the droplet jumping phenomenon highly promising for widespread applications such as phase change heat transfer, surface anti-icing, anti-frosting, and self-cleaning. This review categorizes droplet jumping into single-droplet and multiple-droplet behaviors, detailing their dynamic characteristics and influencing factors. Both active and passive enhancement strategies are discussed in this study. We summarize practical applications and propose future research directions, offering a comprehensive framework for advancing the understanding and utilization of droplet jumping.

表面能变化引起的液滴跳跃：从机理到应用的综述

液滴的变形改变了其各相之间的表面积，导致其表面能的变化。当液滴表面积减小时，多余的表面能被释放并转化为动能，使液滴能够跳跃。表面能变化引起的液滴跳跃的特征速度一般在0.1 m/s以上，且在没有外部能量输入的情况下，液滴的跳跃现象是自发发生的。足够的跳跃速度和自发特性使得液滴跳跃现象在相变传热、表面防冰、防霜、自清洁等方面具有广泛的应用前景。本文将液滴跳跃行为分为单液滴和多液滴行为，详细介绍了它们的动态特性和影响因素。本文讨论了主动增强策略和被动增强策略。总结了液滴跃迁的实际应用，并提出了未来的研究方向，为进一步认识和利用液滴跃迁提供了一个全面的框架。
