Time evolution of the lamella until splashing emerges.

<p>A. Shape evolution for the impact at speed <i>U</i>_<i>0</i> = 8 m/s and the liquid dynamic viscosity <i>μ</i>_<i>L</i> = 40 cP. The other parameters are the same as that for <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0177390#pone.0177390.g003" target="_blank">Fig 3</a>. B. Onset time for the splash <i>t</i>_<i>onset</i> as a function of <i>Re</i> (solid symbols) and <i>We</i> (open symbols), as the drop radius is fixed at <i>a</i> = 1.6 mm. To make the two relationships plotted in one figure, the horizontal axis is 10 times reduced for <i>We</i>. The different colors correspond to different liquid dynamic viscosity <i>μ</i>_<i>L</i> = 9.4 to 40 cP and surface tension <i>σ</i> = 10 to 80 dynes/cm. The inset plots <i>t</i>_<i>onset</i> vs drop radius at the same impact condition as that for <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0177390#pone.0177390.g003" target="_blank">Fig 3</a> except that <i>U</i>_<i>0</i> = 10 m/s.
