The problem of erosion due to water droplet impact has been a major concern for several
industries for a very long time and it keeps reinventing itself wherever a component rotates …

The author reviews research on the physics of liquid impact and the behaviour of cavities
when a shock passes over them. It is shown that the problems are related since when a …

The fluid dynamic phenomena of liquid drop impact are described and reviewed. These
phenomena include bouncing, spreading and splashing on solid surfaces, and bouncing …

The normal impact of liquid drops onto solid, dry surfaces has been studied experimentally,
using high-resolution digital photography. A large number of parameters were varied in a …

The impact of single drops on a thin liquid film was studied to understand the mechanism of
secondary atomisation of sprays colliding on a wetted, cold, solid surface. To span a wide …

The spreading of Newtonian liquid drops after impact with a solid surface is reproted for a
range of liquid and surface proeprties, drop diameters, and impact velocities. Results for …

This paper reports on an experimental study of the impact of water drops on thin liquid films.
The morphology of the impact was studied by still photography, and quantitative results were …

Explosively driven impact welding is a true example of multidisciplinary research as the
phenomena associated with it fall under the various branches of engineering science. A …

Liquid impact comes into a wide range of technological problems. The theory has developed
historically from two areas: those interested in “water entry” and the action of waves on ships …

We are investigating the fluid dynamics of high-speed (500 m/s) small size (200 μm in
diameter) droplet impact on a rigid substrate. Utilizing a high-resolution axisymmetric solver …
