The mechanism of formation of secondary drops due to collision of a drop with a fixed and a moving thin liquid film is studied. The total volume of secondary drops is shown to depend on the thickness and velocity of the liquid layer and on the slope of the tray. However, the experiments performed failed to prove an unambiguous dependence of the total volume and disperse composition of the secondary drops on each of the parameters of the problem separately.
