- This work combines mathematical modelling and numerical analysis to investigate and compare different models of liquid-solid impact. It shows how surface tension can significantly change the liquid touchdown site in a gas-cushioned impact. The work is used by the group of van MeerKerk in the context of wave impacts and is also being used to develop an EPSRC proposal in collaboration with UCL and UEA, which will employ the techniques and understanding developed, to investigate gas cushioning in droplet impacts on rough and textured surfaces.
