- Abstract
- Non-axisymmetric drops impacting on a solid surface can alter impact dynamics significantly, thereby resulting in rebound suppression. Here, we present a method to control the bounce height of drops impacting on heated surfaces with ellipsoidal shaping. Experimental and numerical studies are used to investigate the effects of the geometrical aspect ratio (AR) of the drop on bouncing dynamics, which shows that maximum bounce heights of ellipsoidal drops can be reduced below spherical cases to nearly 40%. Control of bounce height can be explained in terms of a non-axial kinetic energy distribution during retraction. Interestingly, the non-axisymmetric hydrodynamics allows us to reduce contact time below this theoretical limit, which is explored both experimentally and numerically as a function of AR. This work may provide an understanding of bouncing dynamics on non-wetting surfaces for applications in surface cooling and cleaning. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
