On viscoelastic drop impact onto thin films: axisymmetric simulations and experimental analysis

Abstract This study investigates the effect of fluid elasticity on axisymmetric droplets colliding with pre-existing liquid films, using both numerical and experimental approaches. The numerical simulations involve solving the incompressible flow momentum equations with viscoelastic constitutive law...
