Dynamic pressure enhancement upon disk impact on a boiling liquid
Yee Li, Fan, Bernardo Palacios Muniz +2
We experimentally investigate the impact of a flat, horizontal disk onto a boiling liquid, i.e., a liquid in thermal equilibrium with its vapor phase. We observe exceptionally high…

Short-Time Force Response during the Impact of a Droplet with Gas Bubbles
Edgar Ortega-Roano, Devaraj van der Meer
The presence of gas or vapour bubbles may strongly influence the forces that occur during the impact of a liquid mass onto a solid. Here, we study this effect numerically, in a wel…
