Unique Phenomena of Water Drop Impact

Over than 200 years, the phenomena of
liquid drop impact have been investigated. We can find
these phenomena in our daily lives. The simple example is
raindrop. We can see that a falling of liquid droplet can
exhibit a variety of behaviors. From this simple intuition,
the author designs a system in order to observe this
phenomenon. Drop impact is a complex interaction of fluid.
Generally, there are two possible outcomes of droplet
impact onto a solid and dry surface, liquid droplet might
deposit on the surface and form a liquid film or the
droplet would splash and produce secondary droplets. With
good understanding of these concepts; the author write this
book to provides basic knowledge, clear investigation
results of drop impact phenomena, new method to find-out
the droplet size and center of mass when droplet oscillates
in the air, and equations to calculate the energy
dissipation which occurred before and after impact. This
book will be a great foundation and useful guidance for
professionals, engineers, or anyone else who have relation
with petrochemicals and/or other field industries to design
or optimize equipments.
