Maximal deformation of an impacting drop

We first study the impact of a liquid drop of low viscosity on a super-hydrophobic surface. Denoting the drop size and speed as $D_{0}$ and $U_{0}$ , we find that the maximal spreading $D_{\hbox{\scriptsize\it max}}$ scales as $D_{0}\hbox{\it We}^{1/4}$ where We is the Weber number associated with t...
