ABSTRACT
The basic problem of the impact of a microdroplet on a
curved substrate is of central importance to
micromanufacturing and targeted spray cooling of
microdevices. The transient fluid dynamics involved in the
droplet spreading and eventual splashing drastically influence
the heat transfer involved in these processes. Although the
fluid dynamics and heat transfer related to microdroplet
