How micropatterns and air pressure affect splashing on surfaces [PDF]
, 2010 We experimentally investigate the splashing mechanism of a millimeter-sized ethanol drop impinging on a structured solid surface, comprised of micro-pillars, through side-view and top-view high speed imaging. By increasing the impact velocity we can tune
