Thin-sheet creation and threshold pressures in drop splashing

Andrzej Latka

A liquid drop impacting a smooth solid substrate splashes by emitting a thin liquid sheet from near the contact line of the spreading liquid. This sheet is lifted from the substrat…

Drop splashing is independent of substrate wetting

Andrzej Latka, Arnout M. P. Boelens, Sidney R. Nagel +1

A liquid drop impacting a dry solid surface with sufficient kinetic energy will splash, breaking apart into numerous secondary droplets. This phenomenon shows many similarities to…

Observation of the pressure effect in simulations of droplets splashing on a dry surface

A. M. P. Boelens, A. Latka, J. J. de Pablo

At atmospheric pressure, a drop of ethanol impacting on a solid surface produces a splash. Reducing the ambient pressure below its atmospheric value suppresses this splash. The ori…

Comparison of splashing in high and low viscosity liquids

Cacey S. Stevens, Andrzej Latka, Sidney R. Nagel

We explore the evolution of a splash when a liquid drop impacts a smooth, dry surface. There are two splashing regimes that occur when the liquid viscosity is varied, as is evidenc…

Creation of prompt and thin-sheet splashing by varying surface roughness or increasing air pressure

Andrzej Latka, Ariana Strandburg-Peshkin, Michelle M. Driscoll +2

A liquid drop impacting a solid surface may splash by emitting a thin liquid sheet that subsequently breaks apart or by promptly ejecting droplets from the advancing liquid-solid c…

Flow in linearly sheared two dimensional foams: from bubble to bulk scale

Gijs Katgert, Andrzej Latka, Matthias E. Möbius +1

We probe the flow of two dimensional foams, consisting of a monolayer of bubbles sandwiched between a liquid bath and glass plate, as a function of driving rate, packing fraction a…
