Numerical codes

 

Numerical code predicting the diameter of the wetted spot produced by an impacting drop during its spreading and receding. In this code the equations of the rim motion derived in

Roisman I V, Rioboo R and Tropea C (2002) Normal impact of a liquid drop on a dry surface: model for spreading and receding. Proc. Royal. Soc. London A 458, 1411-1430

are solved numerically.

The output file contains two columns: dimensionless time and dimensionless diameter of the contact line. The drop initial diameter and impact velocity are used as a length and velocity scales.

 

The theory describes well our drop impacts. We are not responsible if your experimental data do not agree with these predictions. Try to repeat your experiments more carefully J
