Numerical researches concerning various outcomes during single liquid droplet impact on tubular surfaces with different hydrophobicity values are carried out using a coupled level set and volume-of-fluid method. The impact velocities studied in this paper are 0.1 m/s, 0.5 m/s, 0.94 m/s, and 1.2 m/s, respectively. The contact angles of the tube surfaces are 107°, 120°, 135°, and 153°, respectively. It is found that, when the impact velocity is constant, the increase of the surface hydrophobicity values is detrimental to the spread of the liquid film on tubular surfaces. The larger the surface contact angle, the more likely the droplet rebound takes place. For a constant contact angle, the increase of the impact velocity is helpful to the droplet spread on a tubular surface. In the end, the mechanism of splashing and rebounding of droplet impact on a tubular surface with the contact angle of 135° is explained through the distribution of the pressure and velocity fields. The difference between the outside pr...
