    Urea water solution (UWS) is widely used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines. The investigation of UWS evaporation is fundamental to understand the process of deposit formation, and it can be extended to many other applications, such as inkjet printing and pharmaceutical production processes.Numerical simulations will be performed to investigate the evaporation and the deposit formation, using a free-source framework in python called “pyoomph”.

    The evaporation of liquid droplets, a phenomenon ubiquitous in daily life, has garnered significant attention in scientific research. Of particular interest is the evaporation of droplets laden with nonvolatile solutes, which results in intricate deposition patterns on the substrate. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the formation of these patterns is crucial for various technical applications, spanning from coating and inkjet printing to disease detection. This work delves into the development of a comprehensive model of the specific ring-like deposition patterns observed during the drying of droplets.
