Air entrapment and bubble formation during droplet impact onto a single cubic pillar

Abstract We study the vertical impact of a droplet onto a cubic pillar of comparable size placed on a flat surface, by means of numerical simulations and experiments. Strikingly, during the impact a large volume of air is trapped around the pillar side faces. Impingement upon different positions of...
