Abstract
Front Cover: The cover image is based on the Research Article Heat transfer during droplet impact on a cold superhydrophobic surface via interfacial thermal mapping by Kumar et al.
Superhydrophobic surfaces reduce the contact area and duration of an impacting droplet, which limits the heat transfer at the solid-liquid interface. This makes superhydrophobic surfaces promising for anti-icing applications. Our work employs spatio-temporally resolved infrared thermography to investigate the effects of contact area and time on interfacial heat transfer as a droplet impacts the cold superhydrophobic surface.
