Abstract:Predicting the dynamics of impacting drops is crucial in various industrial applications such as spray and inkjet technologies. Especially in painting technology, the entrapment of air bubbles greatly reduces the product quality. The formation of a thin air film in front of the moving contact line causes the entrapment of air bubbles in the spreading phase. To clarify the main forces acting at the gas-liquid interface that induce air bubbles entrapment, we investigate the contact line velocity of impacting dro… Show more
