6 Results and Discussion<br />

This chapter is dedicated to the experimental results on the drop splash phenomena.<br />

Section 6.1 introduces graphically the four types of splash as well as the<br />

aerodynamic breakup observed in the experiment. Section 6.2 discusses on the<br />

modeling of the splash threshold after examining the previous models with our<br />

experimental results. Section 6.3 comprises the measurement of the velocity of<br />

the uprising jet. It is found out that the velocity of the uprising jet was multiple<br />

times higher than the impact velocity, and it had a strong dependency on the impact<br />

angle. Section 6.4 introduces the measurement of the spreading radii, which<br />

clearly exhibits the discrepancy from the normal impact. Drop impact on the 0°<br />

target layer led to generation of singular secondary droplets. Mass-loss was hence<br />

measurable in this special case. Section 6.5 introduces the mass-loss coefficient of<br />

this special case. This chapter emphasizes the reliability of the measurements, and<br />

therefore only representative graphic data are exhibited. Comprehensive graphic<br />

data and diagrams are listed in the appendixes.<br />

6.1 Outcomes of the Oblique Drop Impact<br />

Single drop impact on dry surfaces were conducted under various conditions.<br />

The impact surface was always dry. The drop diameter was of a narrow range from<br />

181 µm to 204 µm. Variation of the impact speed and the impact angle were accomplished<br />

by incrementing the rotational frequency of the target and the target angle,<br />

respectively. The target angles included 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 75°.<br />

The rotational frequency of the target was from 5 Hz to 30 Hz, corresponding to<br />

10m/s to 63m/s. Both the deposition and the splash were observed. Aerodynamic<br />

breakup of the spreading lamella was discovered.<br />

6.1.1 Morphologies of the Drop Splash<br />

Four types of drop splash were identified in the oblique impact as Figure 6.1 to<br />

Figure 6.4 represent. With larger impact angles, prompt splash emerged ahead<br />

of the corona splash as the impact velocity incremented. Secondary droplets<br />

emerged spontaneously upon impact, and flew away from the spreading lamella<br />

quickly. This observation provides a side-view of the prompt splash observed by<br />
