Abstract
The distribution of material resulting from the impact of a freely falling
drop with a target liquid has been studied by photo and video registration methods. Different cases have been investigated by considering drops made of aqueous
solutions (ink, salt, acid) and including fine solid particles (i.e., suspensions). New
features have been observed in terms of flow dynamics and thin components produced as a result of the impact (such as banded elements, ligaments, and vortices
at the surface of the liquid). In particular, the characteristics of emerging netlike
structures have been found to depend on the size of the suspension clusters. For
the case of acetic acid, a different patterning behavior has been obtained:
sequences of concentric arcs are produced in that case. However, linear scaling
laws and the discrete nature of the distribution of the droplet material seem to
be features common to all the cases considered.
