Abstract

This paper analyses several aspects of the dynamic behaviour of liquid nanodroplets impacting on liquid substrates using molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations. We consider nanometer-sized liquid droplets interacting via the Lennard-Jones potential. We simulate their impulsively accelerated movement and their splashing on a liquid layer with the same interactions at various velocities. As the droplet approaches the surface noticeable bridging is observed. The impact creates a deep crater and leads to droplet absorption before the layer's smoothing.
