Drop impact on viscous liquid films
Vatsal Sanjay, Srinath Lakshman, Pierre Chantelot +2
When a liquid drop falls on a solid substrate, the air layer in between them delays the occurrence of liquid--solid contact. For impacts on smooth substrates, the air film can even…
Non-wetting drop dynamics
Srinath Lakshman, Vatsal Sanjay, Pierre Chantelot +2
The impact of droplets on solids or weakly-deformable surfaces can lead to non-wetting outcomes, depending on the control parameters. Here, we perform experiments and develop a sim…
Deformation and relaxation of viscous thin films under bouncing drops
Srinath Lakshman, Walter Tewes, Kirsten Harth +2
Thin, viscous liquid films subjected to impact events can deform. Here we investigate free surface oil film deformations that arise due to the air pressure buildup under the impact…
