Predicting the maximum spreading of a liquid drop impacting on a solid surface: Effect of surface tension and entrapped air layer

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: At low impact velocities, a droplet does not immediately make contact with a surface because of an entrapped air layer, leading to delayed surface wetting. High-speed images are used to investigate the influence of this entrapped air layer and the surface wettability on droplet spreading.
