Ring-Waves Generated by Water Drops Impacting on Water Surfaces at Rest
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radar observations of the ocean surface can be affected by impacting raindrops. Ring-wave measurements are presented for drops of 2.2 and 2.8 mm in diameter impacting on fresh and salt water surfaces initially at rest. They are based on the observation of the mirror image of a sharp edge on the perturbed surface. The retrieved wave profiles show a rather stable characteristic wavenumber (0.2 mm ) and very small wave amplitudes: the fraction of the incident kinetic energy converted into ring-waves is of the order of 1%.

Water Drops on Surfaces
Water motion is a highly complex phenomenon. From ocean waves to raindrops, water is described by a wide range of shapes and is affected by a wide range of forces. This paper presents a physically-based method of modeling the latter phenomenon raindrops. This model can handle bodies of water with varying underlying terrain, as well as many different fluids, but cannot represent spray systems, w...
متن کاملSessile and Pendant Micro-Liter Drops Evaporate at Different Rates: An Experimental Approach
Evaporation of micro-liter drops from solid surfaces at room condition is mainly governed by diffusion. Therefore, there should be no difference between evaporation rate of sessile and pendant drops. However, some studies indicate a difference and explain the difference using buoyancy. The objective here is to reconcile the inconsistency in the literature. For that, first, by comparing two iden...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Manipulations of Nanoliter Water-drops on Open Platforms Using Magnetically Controlled Hydrophobic Ferro-drops
Here we present a novel and extremely simple method that can manipulate magnetic label-free nanoliter water-drops using micro-nanoliter magnetically controlled hydrophobic ferro-drops used as magnetic mediators. Water-drops and ferro-drops can be dynamically connected under interface force of water/oil, allowing water-drops to be rapidly motioned on threedimensional open platforms and transferr...
متن کاملCylindrical chains of water drops condensing on microstructured lubricant-infused surfaces.
We studied the condensation of water drops on a micro-structured lubricant-infused surfaces. Hierarchical micro-prism surfaces were fabricated by soft imprinting with wet TiO2 nanoparticle paste. After hydrophobization, the patterned surfaces were infused with silicone oil as a lubricant. When cooling at high humidity (over 80%), water drops nucleate and start growing on the surface. Once they ...
