Understanding liquid droplet behavior has major implications in coating industry, agriculture, and epidemiology, among others. Although well-studied and extensively researched, the mechanism of ...

Splashing is one the key factors in transporting pollutants and spreading of diseases. However, splashing could occur even before the drop comes in actual contact with the surface, reveals a new study ...

If a droplet hits a dry solid surface fast enough it will splash and being able to predict a splash is necessary for a vast number of applications, from high-speed coating, inkjet printing, disease ...

Gas turbine engines in planes provide the required thrust by sucking in air, heating it to very high temperatures in a combustion chamber, and finally exhausting it at high velocities. As they operate ...

Droplets bouncing off surfaces are an everyday phenomenon, like raindrops bouncing off lotus leaves or water drops sizzling in a hot pan, levitating and sliding around—aka the Leidenfrost effect.

Scientists in the UK are working to develop new ‘splash avoidance’ techniques that could help to prevent unpleasant and even hazardous situations in bathrooms, hospitals, and kitchens. And, they say ...

The study of liquid droplets and their behavior upon impingement is of major importance in many fields, including agriculture, engineering, and medicine. Droplet behavior prediction has use in spray ...

Making a splash depends on the angle of a liquid as it hits and moves along a surface, according to a new study. Making a splash depends on the angle of a liquid as it hits and moves along a surface, ...
