Abstract

Provide a summary of the test-case submission here.

The dynamics of the normal impact of a single drop onto a thin wall film of the same liquid is characterized using high-speed shadowgraphy. The initial kinetic energy of the drop is sufficiently high to give rise to the formation of a notable crown (corona) but sufficiently low to avoid any disintegration of the crown. Splashing is thus avoided and the entire dynamics of the drop-film interaction is laminar and rotational symmetric. This makes the data set especially useful for advancement and validation of interface-resolving numerical methods for two-phase flows. To this end, time-resolved experimental data on three characteristic dimensions of the crown are provided for two different impact velocities.
