Abstract

Ship's operating life is strongly influenced by the quality of anti-corrosion and anti-fouling coating of ship's hull. However, the quality and the efficiency improvement of the coating operation in shipbuilding are less-advanced. Aimed at improving the quality and the efficiency of the coating, observations of non-Newtonian (shear thinning) droplet impact and deposition were conducted. The observation results show the deposition is strongly influenced by non-Newtonian properties of the droplet.
