DESCRIPTION:Kyriakos Flouris\, Inst. of Astronomy\, ETH-Zürich\nDrop impi
 ngement on surfaces is a phenomenon observed in multiple applications of p
 hysics and engineering such as ink-jet printing. The initial drop may be s
 pherical or elliptical and the receiving surface may be a solid with vario
 us properties or a liquid with varying depths and properties. The impact c
 ould result into numerous scenarios including spreading\, splashing\, reno
 uncing or propagation. Many factors affect the details of the above mentio
 ned scenarios including viscosity\, compressibility\, surface tension\, de
 nsity or even gravity. In this investigation we focus on simulations of wa
 ter droplet splashing on "deep" layers of water at high velocities of the 
 order of 200ms-1. The ultimate goal is understanding and characterising wa
 ter impingement on aircraft surfaces\, thus increasing knowledge of the ic
 ing problem.
