Abstract
The deformation of the interface between a water drop and silicone-oil surface impacted by it was examined in detail. Special attention was directed to the influences of the water-drop diameter dL on the deformation of oil surface and on that of the water drop itself after the impact with the oil surface. The drop diameter was varied from 1.9 mm to 4.1 mm. The influences of dL on the shape of oil cavity at its maximum depth and on the drop shape at its maximum spread were observed conspicuously in case of minimum oil viscosity of vT=5 mm2/s. It was also found that both the maximum cavity depth ratio DM/dL and the maximum diametral deformation ratio dM/dL became smaller as dL was increased. These deformation parameters DM/dL and dM/dL could be well correlated with the impact velocity of drop uL for each oil viscosity. Moreover, in Case B, C and D, DM/dL could be correlated by a dimensionless group ReTLWeTL, and dM/dL was correlated by Re2LOh for highly viscous silicone oil of vT ≥ 5 × 103 mm2/s.
