The impact of a water-in-oil compound drop on a dry quartz surface was studied. The impact outcomes depended on a core-to-overall mass ratio and a Weber number. For a Weber number less than 570 and a core-to-overall mass ratio ranging from 0.07 to 0.7, five collision patterns were observed: complete deposition, shell deposition with core partial rebound, shell splash with core-shell deposition, shell splash with core partial rebound, and shell splash with core-shell partial rebound. Past research has indicated that the splash phenomenon depends strongly on liquid properties such as surface tension and viscosity in addition to the properties of the solid surface and the surrounding gas. The liquid properties in a compound drop were made non-uniform by the presence of additional interfaces in the interior of the liquid drop.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
