Symmetry-breaking in drop bouncing on curved surfaces
The impact of liquid drops on solid surfaces is ubiquitous in nature, and of practical importance in many industrial processes. A drop hitting a flat surface retains a circular symmetry throughout the impact process. Here we show that a drop impinging onEchevaria leaves exhibits asymmetric bouncing...
