New theory predicts wetted area of droplets colliding with flat surface Date: May 24, 2017 Source: Kumamoto University Summary: Researchers have succeeded in deriving a theoretical formula that ...

When a water droplet lands on a surface it can splash, coat the surface cleanly, or in special conditions bounce off like a beach ball Droplets only bounce when the speed of collision with a ...

File this under: stuff you didn’t know would be really cool but actually is. This is a picture of a water droplet being sliced in half by a superhydrophobic knife.

Droplet collision dynamics represent a fundamental process in numerous industrial and environmental applications, from fuel injection systems and spray drying to microfluidic devices and rocket ...
