Impact forces of water drops falling on superhydrophobic surfaces

B Zhang, V Sanjay, S Shi, Y Zhao, C Lv, XQ Feng… - Physical review …, 2022 - APS
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 …

walking on a vertically vibrating fluid bath. Several walking states are reported, including …

When does an impacting drop stop bouncing?

V Sanjay, P Chantelot, D Lohse - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
Non-wetting substrates allow impacting liquid drops to spread, recoil and take-off, provided
they are not too heavy (Biance et al., J. Fluid Mech., vol. 554, 2006, pp. 47–66) or too …

Drop impact on viscous liquid films

V Sanjay, S Lakshman, P Chantelot… - Journal of Fluid …, 2023 - cambridge.org
When a liquid drop falls on a solid substrate, the air layer between them delays the
occurrence of liquid–solid contact. For impacts on smooth substrates, the air film can even …
