Modulating outcomes of oil drops bursting at a water-air interface
Varun Kulkarni, Suhas Tamvada, Yashasvi Venkata Lolla +1
Recent studies have shown that capillary waves generated by bursting of an oil drop at the water-air interface produces a daughter droplet inside the bath while part of it floats a…
