Edge effect: Liquid sheet and droplets formed by drop impact close to an edge

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Liquid sheet fragmentation is ubiquitous in nature and may shape phenomena such as the rain-induced propagation of foliar diseases. An experimental study investigates the formation and fragmentation of an asymmetric liquid sheet upon impact of a drop close to the edge of a solid substrate.
