- Outcome of an invited visit to, and subsequent collaboration with Professor Sigurdur Thoroddsen’s group at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, which uses ultra-high-speed photography (5 million frames per second), to image novel droplet touchdown phenomena in a low ambient pressure gas environment. The paper links experimental results to theory, showing that rarefied gas effects are significant in explaining previously unobserved touchdown phenomena. The work has been used by the groups of Roisman and Tropea, Belousov and Sprittles.
