Surface tension dominated impact
We study the impact of a line mass onto a liquid-gas interface. At early times we find a similarity solution for the interfacial deformation and show how the resulting surface tension force slows the fall of the mass. We compute the motion beyond early times using a boundary integral method, and fin...
