Dynamic variables of drop impact such as force, drag, pressure, and stress distributions are
key to understanding a wide range of natural and industrial processes. While the study of …

A falling liquid drop, after impact on a rigid substrate, deforms and spreads, owing to the
normal reaction force. Subsequently, if the substrate is nonwetting, the drop retracts and …

Drop impact on solid surfaces widely occurs both in nature and engineering. In this
Perspective, we review the recent advances in experimental, theoretical, and numerical …

The impact and splash of liquid drops on solid substrates are ubiquitous in many important
fields. However, previous studies have mainly focused on spherical drops while the non …

Suffering from poor robustness and durability, superhydrophobic surfaces are usually
difficult to be applied in practical engineering such as aircraft anti-icing and electricity …

Collision of a droplet onto a still spherical particle was experimentally investigated. The
effect of droplet impact velocity and wettability of the particle surface on collision outcomes …

Capillarity is the familiar manifestation of the cohesion of liquids. Since Laplace (Traité de
mécanique céleste, vol. IV, supplément au livre X: Sur l'action capillaire, 1805, pp. 1–65), we …

Droplets splash when they impact dry, flat substrates above a critical velocity that depends
on parameters such as droplet size, viscosity, and air pressure. By imaging ethanol drops …

Droplet impact onto liquid pools is a canonical scenario relevant to numerous natural
phenomena and industrial processes. However, despite their ubiquity, multi-fluid systems …

When a drop impacts a dry surface at high velocity, it atomises into secondary droplets.
These small droplets are generated by one of two types of splashes: either by a prompt …
