Fast droplet impact onto slowly moving deep pools
Thomas C. Sykes, Luke F. L. Alventosa, J. Rafael Castrejon-Pita +3
When a fast droplet impacts a pool, the resulting ejecta sheet dynamics determine the final impact outcome. At low Capillary numbers, the ejecta sheet remains separate from a deep…
Bouncing to coalescence transition for droplet impact onto moving liquid pools
Daniel M. Harris, Luke F. L. Alventosa, Oliver Sand +5
A droplet impacting a deep fluid bath is as common as rain over the ocean. If the impact is sufficiently gentle, the mediating air layer remains intact, and the droplet may rebound…
Bidirectional Wave-Propelled Capillary Spinners
Jack-William Barotta, Stuart J. Thomson, Luke F. L. Alventosa +2
When a solid body floats at the interface of a vibrating liquid bath, the relative motion between the object and interface generates outwardly propagating surface waves. It has rec…
Impact of a rigid sphere onto an elastic membrane
Elvis A. Agüero, Luke Alventosa, Daniel M. Harris +1
We study the axisymmetric impact of a rigid sphere onto an elastic membrane theoretically and experimentally. We derive governing equations from first principles and impose natural…
Inertio-capillary rebound of a droplet impacting a fluid bath
Luke F. L. Alventosa, Radu Cimpeanu, Daniel M. Harris
The rebound of droplets impacting a deep fluid bath is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Millimetric drops are generated using a piezoelectric droplet-on-demand genera…
