Repeated oblique impacts and rebounds of a solid body or bodies on horizontal shallow water are investigated through mathematical modelling. The inclinations from the horizontal are supposed small as the skimming evolves, for a thin typical body shape. The new formulation aimed at improved prediction as well as the background involved is presented together with nonlinear analysis and computation. Comparatively fast or slow collisions and rebounds are found to be of special interest over short time-scales.

Probing the contact time of droplet impacts: From the Hertz collision to oscillation regimes.

Droplet rebound on nonwetting surfaces is a common phenomenon. However, the underlying physics regulating the contact time remains unclear. In this work, we investigate droplet impacts on superamphiphobic surfaces through experiments and theoretical analyses.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze changes in craniomaxillofacial trauma incidence, causes, demographics, and treatment across three phases: before, during, and after COVID-19.
- Results showed a significant decrease in facial fractures and soft tissue injuries in 2020 compared to 2019, with a notable reduction in certain types of injuries and operative treatments during the pandemic.
- By 2021, injuries rebounded but remained slightly lower in 2022 compared to pre-pandemic levels, highlighting shifts in injury mechanisms and demographics during and post-pandemic.

We use three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence in a cubic domain to investigate the dynamics of heavy, chiral, finite-size inertial particles and their effects on the flow. Using an immersed-boundary method and a complex collision model, four-way coupled simulations have been performed and the effects of particle-to-fluid density ratio, turbulence strength, and particle volume fraction have been analysed. We find that freely falling particles on the one hand add energy to the turbulent flow but, on the other hand, they also enhance the flow dissipation: depending on the combination of flow parameters, the former or the latter mechanism prevails, thus yielding enhanced or weakened turbulence.

Article Synopsis
- A new potential energy surface (PES) has been created for the Cl + CH3CN chemical reaction, building on previous research that accurately identified stationary points of the reaction.
- The PES is achieved using advanced fitting methods, and simulations at various collision energies reveal several low-probability reaction pathways, with H-abstraction being the most significant.
- As collision energy increases, the reaction dynamics shift from indirect/rebound mechanisms to direct stripping, with the products showing various energy distributions—HCl mainly in the ground vibrational state and CH2CN with notable vibrational excitation.
Exploring the Regimes of Particle Behavior upon Impact via the Discrete Element Method.

Discrete element method simulations are conducted to probe the various regimes of post-impact behavior of particles with solid surfaces. The impacting particles are described as spherical agglomerates consisting of smaller constituent (or primary) particles held together via surface adhesion. Under the influence of a wide range of impact velocities and particle surface energies, five distinct behavioral regimes-rebounding, vibration, fragmentation, pancaking, and shattering-are identified, and force transmission patterns are linked to post-impact behavior.
