Behavior of a Glycerol Aqueous Droplet Impacting a Thin Water Film by J. Zhu, B. Liu, J. Sheng, S. Zheng, T. Lu, X. Chen

“…Numerous splash behaviors with different impact velocities (2.0-4.5 m/s), liquid film thicknesses (140-700 μm) and glycerol solution concentrations (30 wt%, 60 wt% and 80 wt%) were statistically analyzed, and finally classified based on morphological features. The laser-induced fluorescence images illustrate that the prompt splash secondary droplets mainly originated from the thin water film, while the components of delayed splash secondary droplets came from both the glycerol aqueous droplet and the thin water film. …”
