In this paper, the three-dimensional numerical model has been constructed to simulate the process of the dual droplets impacting the liquid film successively and obliquely, and the CLSVOF method is applied to trace the two-phase interface. The interface evolution characteristics during the impacting process are analyzed, including the formation, collision, coalescence, and extension of the primary and secondary crowns, and the emergence, inflation, and local instability of the crater. Result shows that some special morphological features appear during the interface evolution, such as the gas cavity, liquid crest, and air gap. Besides, the evolution characteristics of the crater profile are summarized within the specified time range of this study. The variation of the maximum crater radiuses with time in upstream, downstream, and lateral directions is analyzed. The distribution feature of liquid kinetic energy in the circumferential direction is elucidated. This study is of great significance to spray cooling, metallurgy, aerospace, and other industrial applications.
