This document summarizes research on the impact of drops on inclined liquid surfaces and hot surfaces. It describes the experimental setup used to study drops of silicon oil impacting a submillimetric layer of silicon oil. The impact behavior depends on parameters like the Weber number and can result in bouncing, coalescence, or splitting. As the Weber number increases from below 4 to above 15, the behavior transitions from complete bouncing to total merger. Images show examples of the different behaviors. Future work could analyze the flow after impact and shock waves generated.

The air layer

there is no

Outgoing droplet is
elongated, so the
output time may
occur before lift-off

15. Future scope
we can analyze the flow behavior after drop impact
on the liquid.
We can analyze the shock wave generated after drop
impact on the inside the fluid
We can analyze the drop impact on the flexible
material
