Size Dependence of Drops Impacting Superhydrophobic Surfaces, by D.A. Bolleddula, H.E. Dillon, A. Aliseda, P.S. Bhosale, J.C. Berg Mechanical and Chemical Engineering, University of Washington
![heather dillon > The implementation of multiscale roughness has demonstrated a variety of interesting outcomes when a liquid droplet impacts such a surface. It has been shown [1] that when water drops of size D ∼2 mm impact superhydrophobic surfaces they can recede, rebound (top), jet, and even splash (bottom). Here we investigate the effect of drop size on surfaces of increasing roughness over We ∼1-5. As we expect, drops of size D ∼2 mm will bounce for We ∼ O(1 − 10), but what happens if we decrease the drop size while holding the Weber number (We) constant?
