In order to investigate the heat and mass transfer of liquid droplet impinging on a heated surface with different wettability, VOF(volume of fluid) numerical simulation method was used to analyzed the mechanisms of wall wettability and surface temperature on droplet morphology and heat transfer characteristics. The results show that the hydrophilic wall is favorable for droplet spreading, while the hydrophobic wall is favorable for droplet rebound. With the increase of contact angle, the maximum spreading factor of droplets decreases, the time to reach the maximum spreading factor is shortened, and the average heat flux of the wall surface decreases. Surface temperature has less influence on the droplet spreading stage, with the increase of surface temperature, the droplet phase transition rate accelerates, the average heat flux of the wall surface increases, and the Leidenfrost phenomenon occurs when the surface temperature exceeds the critical temperature.
