Drop Impact on a Solid Surface (2016, unknown): “This invariable aﬀects impact outcomes (Thoroddsen et al. (2005); Mishra et al. (2011); Liu et al. (2013)), but was not characterized in many earlier studies.”

Events before droplet splashing on a solid surface (2009, background): “More insight about the possible role of the ambient gas is provided by high-speed photography (Thoroddsen et al. 2005), which gives a detailed picture of the dynamics of an entrapped air bubble between the liquid and the solid surface but is unable to resolve the earliest stages of the formation of ”
Air entrainment during impact of droplets on liquid surfaces (2013, background): “…scales and highlight the role of the air layer between the drop and the surface – for some recent investigations of the air layer, see, for example, Thoroddsen et al. (2005), Mandre, Mani & Brenner (2009), Mani, Mandre & Brenner (2010), Hicks & Purvis (2010, 2011), Duchemin & Josserand (2011),…”
Drop impact on a solid surface: short-time self-similarity (2015, unknown): “Starting with the initial perfect spherical shape assumption, we may identify several typical causes for deviations from sphericity such as capillary drop oscillations during free fall (Engel 1955; Thoroddsen et al. 2005) or flowing air shaping (Pruppacher & Beard 1970).”
