Impact of a drop on a solid surface

Abstract

A numerical solution is obtained to the unsteady-state problem of a direct collision between a liquid drop of cylindrical form and a rigid surface. It is shown that unsteady-state interaction between shock waves inside the drop leads to the development of broad zones of cavitation, promoting the dispersion of the drop.
