Specialised Imaging reports on a technical article, written by researchers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia that describes the use of a Kirana ultra high-speed video system to undertake time-resolved imaging of a compressible air disk that forms under a drop impacting on a solid surface.
The capture of a bubble under an impacting drop can have detrimental effects on the uniformity of spray coatings and interfere with precision inkjet-based manufacturing such as are used in the printing of organic displays. When a drop impacts on a solid surface, its rapid deceleration is cushioned by a thin layer of air, which leads to the entrapment of a bubble under its centre. For large impact velocities the lubrication pressure in...
