Abstract
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.

Air entrapment at impact of a conus onto a liquid

TL;DR: In this article , a conus impacts a deep liquid pool at a speed varying from 1.3 to 19.0 cm/s, and the initial radius of the annular touchdown region is estimated as the intersection of the relevant fitting curves.

Spreading dynamics of droplets impacting on oscillating hydrophobic substrates

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present an experimental investigation of the spreading of a droplet impacting a sinusoidally oscillating hydrophobic substrate, focusing on the maximum spread of droplets as a function of various parameters of substrate oscillation.

Role of offset during drop-on-drop impact dynamics on a superhydrophobic substrate

TL;DR: In this article , a drop-on-drop impact with an offset between sessile and impacting droplet on a superhydrophobic substrate is investigated, and two boundary conditions of droplet #1 deposition are highlighted: gentle deposition and impact deposition.

Wall impact of mushy frozen water drops

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of frozen dendritically frozen water droplets on solid surfaces was investigated, assuming plastic flow in the droplet and the model provided a description of the flow development near the impact axis and allowed estimation of the apparent yield strength of the solid-liquid mixture for different initial temperatures of the water drop, i.e. for varying solid liquid ratios.

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.

Inkjet printing of single-crystal films

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.
