Deceleration Of Droplets That Glide Along The Free Surface Of A Bath, Jacob Hale, Caleb Akers
Deceleration Of Droplets That Glide Along The Free Surface Of A Bath, Jacob Hale, Caleb Akers
Physics & Astronomy Faculty publications
A droplet obliquely impacting a bath surface of the same fluid can traverse along the interface while slowing at an exponential rate. The droplet rests on a thin film of air and deforms the bath surface creating a dimple and travels along the surface similar to a wave pulse. Viscous coupling of the droplet and bath surfaces through the air film leads to viscous drag on the bath and perturbs the wave motion of the otherwise free surface. Even though Reynolds numbers are greater than unity (Re O(10 -- 100)), we show that the droplet's deceleration is only due to …
