Droplet rebounds off a fluid bath at low Weber numbers
Elvis A. Agüero, Carlos A. Galeano-Rios, Clodoaldo Ragazzo +3
We present a method to simulate non-coalescing impacts and rebounds of droplets onto the free surface of a liquid bath, together with new experimental data, focused on the low-spee…

Drop rebound at low Weber number
Chase T. Gabbard, Elvis A. Aguero, Radu Cimpeanu +5
We study the rebound of drops impacting non-wetting substrates at low Weber number through experiment, direct numerical simulation, and reduced-order modeling. Submillimeter-s…
