Article Synopsis
  • The research explores how dense suspension droplets splash upon hitting solid surfaces, highlighting the role of liquid viscosity.
  • The splashing phenomenon is influenced by the kinetic energy of particles overcoming surface tension (Weber number) and is suppressed by higher solvent viscosity (Stokes number).
  • A unique phase diagram was created, revealing that at low Stokes numbers, droplets can bounce back rather than splash, a behavior explained through simulations of particle interactions.
