Droplet impact onto a solid sphere: Effect of wettability and impact velocity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Collision of a droplet onto a still spherical particle was experimentally investigated. The effect of droplet impact velocity and wettability of the particle surface on collision outcomes was studied (0.05 < V0 < 5.0 and θ = 70°, 90°, 118°). Compared to the literature, the range of Weber number variations was significantly extended (0.1 < We < 1146), and while focus of the previous works was on impacts in which particle is larger than the droplet (Dr < 1), the drop to particle diameter ratio in this work was larger than one. Therefore, formation of a thin liquid film, i.e., lamella, was observed due to impact of a relatively high velocity droplet onto a hydrophobic particle. Temporal variations of various geometrical parameters of collision outcomes including lamella length and lamella base diameter were investigated during the impact. It was also shown that for hydrophobic targets, the extent of hydrophobicity of the particle does not affect the lamella geometry. A comprehensive map of all the available works in drop impact on a spherical target was also provided.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
