Non-wetting substrates allow impacting liquid drops to spread, recoil, and takeoff, provided they are not too heavy (Biance et al. 2006) or viscous (Jha 2020). In this article, using direct numerical simulations with the volume of fluid method, we investigate how stresses gravity conspire against capillarity inhibit drop rebound. Close bouncing non-bouncing transition, evidence that initial spr...

Abstract Mindset has been identified as an essential aspect of design and innovation, impacting both behaviours performance. However, the concept mindset is elusive. Often used indistinguishably from behaviour, diminishing complexity mechanisms cognitive processes underlying behaviour. As initial step in researching these mechanisms, we operationalise present inventory (D-Mindset0) to measure i...

Landslides, rockfalls, and iceberg calving impacting into a water body generate large landslide-tsunamis posing serious hazard in lakes reservoirs. These waves can impact even overtop dams as the 1963 Vajont disaster Italy. However, estimating effects of tsunamis on dams, e.g. pressures forces, 3D is challenging. An accurate prediction these also important for range coastal offshore application...
