“…Besides Weber number, there are other dimensionless numbers that are relevant in describing the impact process, [ 21 ] including Bond number (the ratio of gravitational force to surface tension force, Bo = ρgd 2 /γ), capillary number (the ratio of viscous force to surface tension force, Ca = μU /γ), Reynolds number (the ratio of inertial force to viscous force, Re = ρdU /μ), Ohnesorge number Oh = μ/( ρdγ ) 1/2 = where μ is the viscosity of the drop. With U ≈ 0.5 m s −1 , d = 2.0 mm, and μ = 0.9 mPa s for water drop, Bo ≈ 0.54, Ca ≈ 6.3 × 10 −4 , Re ≈ 1.1 × 10 3 , and Oh ≈ 2.4 × 10 −3 , showing negligible effect of the viscosity on the impact process.…”
