Edge effect: Liquid sheet and droplets formed by drop impact close to an edge

Asymmetric liquid sheet fragmentation is ubiquitous in nature and potentially shapes critical phenomena such as rain-induced propagation of foliar diseases. In this experimental study, we investigate the formation and fragmentation of a liquid sheet upon impact of a drop close to the edge of a solid...
