Bouncing water drops
Abstract
\n \nWhen a liquid drop impacts a solid, it spreads (with possibly beautiful \nfingering patterns) up to the point when kinetic energy is dissipated by \nviscosity. Then, it can retract (if the solid is partially wetted by the \nliquid), or not. A very different behaviour can be observed on highly hydrophobous \nsolids. On such solids, the contact angle is close to $180^\\circ$, so that \nthe kinetic energy of the impinging drop can be transferred to surface energy, \nwithout spreading. Thus, the drop can fully bounce. However, the liquid nature \nof this kind of spring imposes a limit for the restitution coefficient, which \nis due to the fact that the drop, after the lift-off, oscillates.\n\n

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
