Secondary jets from high viscosity complex fluid

TL;DR

This study investigates how high viscosity complex fluids produce secondary jets upon impact with dry surfaces, revealing that larger impact velocities lead to jet formation.

Contribution

It provides new insights into the impact dynamics of high viscosity complex fluids and the conditions under which secondary jets form.

Findings

Secondary jets appear at high impact velocities.

Impact velocity influences jet formation.

High viscosity affects impact behavior.

Abstract

The behaviour of a high viscosity complex fluid upon impact with a dry solid surface has been studied. Video-based studies show the appearance of secondary jets for large impact velocities.
