A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and deposition depend crucially on the wetting properties of the substrate. In this review, we focus on recent experimental and theoretical studies, which aim at unraveling the underlying physics, characterized by the delicate interplay of not only liquid inertia, viscosity, and surface tension, but also the surrounding gas. The gas cushions the initial contact; it is entrapped in a central microbubble on the substrate; and it promotes the so-called corona splash, by lifting the lamella away from the solid. Particular attention is paid to the influence of surface roughness, natural or engineered to enhance repellency, relevant in many applications.read more

Submillimeter-Sized Bubble Entrapment and a High-Speed Jet Emission during Droplet Impact on Solid Surfaces
TL;DR: It is shown that bubble entrapment occurs only on sufficiently hydrophobic surfaces within a narrow range of impact velocities, and that the velocity of liquid jets emitted after cavity collapse for drop impact with and without bubbleEntrapment scales with their sizes according to different power laws, which is explained by simple scaling analyses.

Drop impact on a solid surface: short time self-similarity
TL;DR: In this article, the early stages of drop impact onto a solid surface are considered and detailed numerical simulations and detailed asymptotic analysis of the process reveal a self-similar structure both for the velocity field and the pressure field.

Dynamics of drop impact onto a solid sphere: spreading and retraction
TL;DR: In this paper, drop impact on a sphere is numerically investigated at moderate Reynolds and Weber numbers, with the help of numerical simulations, identifying the key regimes in the spreading and retraction, and quantitatively evaluating the effect of on the impact dynamics.

Drop Impact Dynamics: Splashing, Spreading, Receding, Bouncing ...
TL;DR: In this article, a review deals with drop impacts on thin liquid layers and dry surfaces, referred to as splashing, and their propagation is discussed in detail, as well as some additional kindred, albeit nonsplashing, phenomena like drop spreading and deposition, receding (recoil), jetting, fingering, and rebound.

TL;DR: It is shown that mixing fine droplets of an antisolvent and a solution of an active semiconducting component within a confined area on an amorphous substrate can trigger the controlled formation of exceptionally uniform single-crystal or polycrystalline thin films that grow at the liquid–air interfaces.

Robust omniphobic surfaces
TL;DR: Four design parameters are proposed that predict the measured contact angles for a liquid droplet on a textured surface, as well as the robustness of the composite interface, based on the properties of the solid surface and the contacting liquid, that allow two different families of re-entrant surfaces to be produced.
