In this article, the impact of a liquid drop of low viscosity on a super-hydrophobic surface was studied. But the authors focused on the effect of the drop on the spread of the liquid on the surface.Abstract:
We first study the impact of a liquid drop of low viscosity on a super-hydrophobic surface. Denoting the drop size and speed as are the liquid density and surface tension). This law is also observed to hold on partially wettable surfaces, provided that liquids of low viscosity (such as water) are used. The law is interpreted as resulting from the effective acceleration experienced by the drop during its impact. Viscous drops are also analysed, allowing us to propose a criterion for predicting if the spreading is limited by capillarity, or by viscosity.read more

Maximum Diameter of Impacting Liquid Droplets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show which forces play a role in impact and spreading, and obtain an expression relating impact velocity to droplet volume and maximum diameter of the resulting pattern, which offers important insight for the analysis of bloodstains in forensic science.

Drop collisions with simple and complex surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors comprehensively review the present level of understanding for such impact situations, by considering effects introduced by morphological changes to the surface and by changes of the wettability.

On the elasticity of an inertial liquid shock
TL;DR: In this paper, a drop of low viscosity hitting a solid may bounce, provided that the material is highly hydrophobic and a thin layer of vapour sustains the drop preventing any contact with the substrate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the transition between contact boiling and film boiling and showed that the residence time of droplets impacting upon the surface strongly depends on the drop size, which can be explained by taking into account the drag force of the vapor flow under the drop.
