The impact of a liquid drop on a solid surface involves many intertwined physical effects, and is influenced by drop velocity, surface tension, ambient pressure and liquid viscosity, among others. Experiments by Kolinski et al. (2014b) show that the liquid-air interface begins to deviate away from the solid surface even before contact. They found that the lift-off of the interface starts at a critical time that scales with the square root of the kinematic viscosity of the liquid. To understand this, we study the approach of a liquid drop towards a solid surface in the presence of an intervening gas layer. We take a numerical approach to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for the liquid, coupled to the compressible lubrication equations for the gas, in two dimensions. With this approach, we recover the experimentally captured early time effect of liquid viscosity on the drop impact, but our results show that lift-off time and liquid kinematic viscosity have a more complex dependence than the square root scaling relationship. We also predict the effect of interfacial tension at the liquid-gas interface on the drop impact, showing that it mediates the lift-off behavior.

We present the results of large scale simulations of 4th order nonlinear partial differential equations of dif- fusion type that are typically encountered when modeling dynamics of thin fluid films on substrates. The simulations are based on the alte rnate direction implicit (ADI) method, with the main part of the compu- tational work carried out in the GPU computing environment. Efficient and accurate computations allow for simulations on large computational domains in three spatial dimensions (3D) and for long computational times. We apply the methods developed to the particular problem of instabilities of thin fluid films of nanoscale thickness. The large scale of the simulations minimizes the effects of boundaries, and also allows for simulating domains of the size encountered in published experiments. As an outcome, we can analyze the development of instabilities with an unprecedented level of detail. A particular focus is on analyzing the manner in which instability develops, in particular regarding differences between spinodal and nucleation types of dewetting for linearly unstable films, as well as instabilities of metastable films. Simulations in 3D allow for consideration of some recent results that were previously obtained in the 2D geometry (J. Fluid Mech. 841, 925 (2018)). Some of the new results include using Fourier transforms as well as topological invariants (Betti numbers) to distinguish the outcomes of spinodal and nucleation types of instabilities, describing in precise terms the complex processes that lead to the formation of satellite drops, as well as distinguishing the shape of the evolving film front in linearly unstable and metastable regimes. We also discuss direct comparison between simulations and available experimental results for nematic liquid crystal and polymer films.
This paper represents a theoretical and an experimental study of the spreading dynamics of a liquid droplet, generated by a needle free deposition system called the liquid needle droplet deposition technique. This technique utilizes a continuous liqu id jet generated from a pressurized dosing system which generates a liquid drop on a substrate to be characterized by optical contact angle measurements. Although many studies have explored the theoretical modelling of the droplet spreading scenario, a theoretical model representing the spreading dynamics of a droplet, generated by the jet impact and continuous addition of liquid mass, is yet to be addressed. In this study, we developed a theoretical model based on the overall energy balance approach which enables us to study on the physics of variation of droplet spreading under surrounding medium of various viscosities. The numerical solution of the non-linear ordinary differential equation has provided us the opportunity to comment on the variation of droplet spreading, as a function of Weber number ($We$), Reynolds number ($Re$) and Bond number ($Bo$) ranging from 0.5-3, 75-150, and 0.001-0.3, respectively. We have also presented a liquid jet impact model in order to predict the initial droplet diameter as an initial condition for the proposed governing equation. The model has been verified further with the experimental measurements and reasonable agreement has been observed. Experimental observations and theoretical investigations also highlight the precision, repeatability and wide range of the applicability of liquid needle drop deposition technique.
We study the deformation and breakup of an axisymmetric electrolyte drop which is freely suspended in an infinite dielectric medium and subjected to an imposed electric field. The electric potential in the drop phase is assumed small, so that its gov erning equation is approximated by a linearized Poisson-Boltzmann or modified Helmholtz equation (the Debye-H{u}ckel regime). An accurate and efficient boundary integral method is developed to solve the low-Reynolds-number flow problem for the time-dependent drop deformation, in the case of arbitrary Debye layer thickness. Extensive numerical results are presented for the case when the viscosity of the drop and surrounding medium are comparable. Qualitative similarities are found between the evolution of a drop with a thick Debye layer (characterized by the parameter $chill 1$, which is an inverse dimensionless Debye layer thickness) and a perfect dielectric drop in an insulating medium. In this limit, a highly elongated steady state is obtained for sufficiently large imposed electric field, and the field inside the drop is found to be well approximated using slender body theory. In the opposite limit $chigg 1$, when the Debye layer is thin, the drop behaves as a highly conducting drop, even for moderate permittivity ratio $Q=epsilon_1/epsilon_2$, where $epsilon_1, epsilon_2$ is the dielectric permittivity of drop interior and exterior, respectively. For parameter values at which steady solutions no longer exist, we find three distinct types of unsteady solution or breakup modes. These are termed conical end formation, end splashing, and open end stretching. The second breakup mode, end splashing, resembles the breakup solution presented in a recent paper [R. B. Karyappa et al., J. Fluid Mech. 754, 550-589 (2014)]. We compute a phase diagram which illustrates the regions in parameter space in which the different breakup modes occur.
A physical model of a three-dimensional flow of a viscous bubbly fluid in an intermediate regime between bubble formation and breakage is presented. The model is based on mechanics and thermodynamics of a single bubble coupled to the dynamics of a vi scous fluid as a whole, and takes into account multiple physical effects, including gravity, viscosity, and surface tension.

For a limited set of impact conditions, a drop impacting onto a pool can entrap an air bubble as large as its own size. The subsequent rise and rupture of this large bubble plays an important role in aerosol formation and gas transport at the air-sea interface. The large bubble is formed when the impact crater closes up near the pool surface and is known to occur only for drops which are prolate at impact. Herein we use experiments and numerical simulations to show that a concentrated vortex ring, produced in the neck between the drop and pool, controls the crater deformations and pinch-off. However, it is not the strongest vortex rings which are responsible for the large bubbles, as they interact too strongly with the pool surface and self-destruct. Rather, it is somewhat weaker vortices which can deform the deeper craters, which manage to pinch off the large bubbles. These observations also explain why the strongest and most penetrating vortex rings emerging from drop impacts, are not produced by oblate drops but by more prolate drop shapes, as had been observed in previous experiments.
