Quantitative Flow Field Imaging about a Hydrophobic Sphere Impacting on a Free Surface
Roderick R. La Foy, Tadd T. Truscott, Alexandra H. Techet
This fluid dynamics video shows the impact of a hydrophobic sphere impacting a water surface. The sphere has a mass ratio of m* = 1.15, a wetting angle of 110 degrees, a diameter o…

Dynamics of Water Entry
Tadd T. Truscott, Jeffrey M. Aristoff, Alexandra H. Techet
The hydrodynamics associated with water-entry of spheres can be highly variable with respect to the material and kinematic properties of the sphere. This series of five fluid dynam…
