Hydrogel sphere impact cratering, spreading and bouncing on granular media
Xiaoyan Ye, Devaraj van der Meer
The impact of a hydrogel sphere onto a granular target results in both the deformation of the sphere and the formation of a prominent topographic feature known as impact crater on…
Liquid-grain mixing suppresses droplet spreading and splashing during impact
Song-Chuan Zhao, Rianne de Jong, Devaraj van der Meer
Would a raindrop impacting on a coarse beach behave differently from that impacting on a desert of fine sand? We study this question by a series of model experiments, where the pac…
Crater formation during raindrop impact on sand
Rianne de Jong, Song-Chuan Zhao, Devaraj van der Meer
After a raindrop impacts on a granular bed, a crater is formed as both drop and target deform. After an initial, transient, phase in which the maximum crater depth is reached, the…
Raindrop impact on sand: a dynamic explanation of crater morphologies
Song-Chuan Zhao, Rianne de Jong, Devaraj van der Meer
As a droplet impacts on a granular substrate, both the intruder and the target deform, during which the liquid may penetrate into the substrate. {These three aspects together disti…
Hole dynamics in vertically vibrated liquids and suspensions
Stefan von Kann, Matthias van de Raa, Devaraj van der Meer
We study the dynamics of holes created in vertically vibrated dense suspensions and viscous Newtonian liquids. We find that all holes oscillate with the driving frequency, with a p…
