| description | Under some conditions, a water droplet can bounce on a flat water surface. This paper contains a qualitative analysis of the bouncing phenomenon that leads to try to obtain drops with a nearly tangential incidence, the smallest radius and the highest velocity possible. We describe the experimental setup that we built, able to throw unique droplets at typical speed v ~ 1 m.s−1, radius R ~ 4 × 10−4 m and impact angle θ ~ 15° with respect to the surface. Up to 4 bounces were experimentally observed. The experimental results’ plot shows the statistical behaviour of the bouncing process: the initial conditions are not sufficient to predict the trajectory and consequently the number of bounces. |
