A spin on cavity formation during water entry of hydrophobic and hydrophilic spheres
Surface coating and impact velocity can dramatically affect cavity formation during water entry of spheres. Duez et al. [Nat. Phys. 3, 180 (2007) ] present a theoretical limit, dependent on impact velocity and surface static wetting angle, below which air cavities no longer form. We show that transv...
