Liquid drop impact on granular beds: the influence of drop inertia and grain size

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Droplet impact on granular beds shows two crater regimes set by splash appearance. The influence of grain diameter is unified by a new dimensionless number, capturing inertial dissipation through grain contacts.
