Description of Study Test Case

This section should:
* Convey the general set-up of the test case configuration (e.g. airflow over a bump on the floor of a wind tunnel)
* Describe the geometry, illustrated by a sketch
* Specify the flow parameters which define the flow regime (e.g. Reynolds number, Rayleigh number, angle of incidence etc.)
* give the principal quantities of interest that were measured - these should include global parameters but also mean-flow and turbulence parameters.

The description can be kept fairly short if reference can be made to a publication or a link to a data base where details are given. For other cases a more detailed, self-contained description should be provided.

The liquid used in the experiments is silicone oil (density, kinematic viscosity, surface tension) while the ambient gas is air (density, kinematic viscosity).

The film height h = 500 μm as well as the drop diameter D = 1.5mm are kept fixed, resulting in δ = 0.33 and Oh = 0.03, respectively. The drop velocity is varied from 1 to 3 m/s. Accordingly, the Weber number is in the range 78 􀀀 702 while the Reynolds number Re = We0.5/Oh is in the range 300 􀀀 900, see Table 2

Investigated drop impact velocities

Impact energy	Impact velocity	Weber number	Reynolds number
Low	1 m/s	78.0	300
Moderate	2 m/s	311.9	600
High	3 m/s	701.7	900
