Freezing of water droplets on solid surfaces: An experimental and numerical study

•We study the heat transfer of water droplets freezing on supercooled surfaces.•A droplet changing from water to ice shows four distinct consecutive processes.•Nucleation during recalescence results in ultrafast rise of droplet temperature.•A long freezing process follows recalescence and is driven...
