- This is the first systematic study on droplets impacting moving liquids. Our findings confirm that viscosity, surface tension, density and the relative speed of impact regulate splashing. This fundamental study is of great importance in many fields of technology and natural sciences, as our parametric conditions covers all scenarios in which droplets can be formed, including those of inkjet printing, spraying and other liquid dispensing techniques. A PhD was awarded in the University of Seville (Spain) based on the results obtained in this work. The paper was key to securing a tenured position at the University of London.
