Abstract

When a drop impacts a stationary drop on a non-wetting surface, the two drops coalesce, spread on the surface and retract, sometimes bouncing off. We measure the maximum diameter and retraction time for a wide range of parameter values and generalize known single drop models to drop-on-drop impacts.
