Distortion of a Splashing Liquid Drop

Distortion of a Splashing Liquid Drop

The low-speed splash of a drop of liquid into a pool can result in a surprisingly complicated flow pattern, apparently not detected by previous experiments or theories. We examined the dynamics of this process by high-speed computer, obtaining a series of configuration plots at various stages of the...
