Drop impact on a solid surface

C Josserand, ST Thoroddsen - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …
