Drops impacting a sieve.

چکیده
We study experimentally the impact of liquid drops against thin plates pierced with small holes. When the drop is larger than the hole, different situations can occur: (i) at a small velocity, the drop is entirely captured by the plate; (ii) above a threshold speed, some liquid is ejected below the surface. We characterize this critical speed and these two different situations, focusing on the forces able to slow down the drop. We also quantify the amount of liquid ejected out of the hole.

Ring-Waves Generated by Water Drops Impacting on Water Surfaces at Rest
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...
متن کاملSkating on a film of air: drops impacting on a surface.
The commonly accepted description of drops impacting on a surface typically ignores the essential role of the air that is trapped between the impacting drop and the surface. Here we describe a new imaging modality that is sensitive to the behavior right at the surface. We show that a very thin film of air, only a few tens of nanometers thick, remains trapped between the falling drop and the sur...
متن کاملNon-isolated drop impact on surfaces
Upon impact on a solid surface, a drop expands into a sheet, a corona, which can rebound, stick or splash and fragment into secondary droplets. Previously, focus has been placed on impacts of single drops on surfaces to understand their splash, rebound or spreading. This is important for spraying, printing, and environmental and health processes such as contamination by pathogen-bearing droplet...
متن کاملCapturing drops with a thin fiber.
We study experimentally the dynamics of drops impacting horizontal fibers and characterize the ability of these objects to capture the drops. We first show that a drop larger than a critical radius cannot be trapped by a fiber whatever its velocity. We determine this critical size as a function of the fiber radius. Then we show that for smaller drops, different situations can occur: at a low im...
متن کاملWater impacting on superhydrophobic macrotextures
It has been recently shown that the presence of macrotextures on superhydrophobic materials can markedly modify the dynamics of water impacting them, and in particular significantly reduce the contact time of bouncing drops, compared with what is observed on a flat surface. This finding constitutes a significant step in the maximization of water repellency, since it enables to minimize even fur...
