Coupled Dynamics of Droplet Impact on a Flexible, Hydrophilic Cantilever Beam

We experimentally study the droplet impact on a flexible, hydrophilic cantilever beam. Droplets of water, water-glycerol (1:1 v/v), and glycerol were considered on a copper beam. Side visualization of the droplet impact on the cantilever was carried out by using a high-speed camera. We systematicall...

520 |a We experimentally study the droplet impact on a flexible, hydrophilic cantilever beam. Droplets of water, water-glycerol (1:1 v/v), and glycerol were considered on a copper beam. Side visualization of the droplet impact on the cantilever was carried out by using a high-speed camera. We systematically vary cantilever stiffness to obtain a characteristic time scale of the beam dynamics, that is, shorter on the same order and longer than the characteristic time scale of droplet dynamics. Water droplet spreading reduces with an increase in the beam's flexibility, due to the "springboard effect". Results reveal that a threshold cantilever length exists beyond which the droplet vibration mode "locks-in" to the cantilever vibration mode. During lock-in, the bending energy of the beam increases with an increasing length or decreasing stiffness. The time-varying cantilever deflection exhibits an oscillatory, exponentially decaying response. However, in the case where both time scales are almost the same, we found a two-stage damping in the measurements: a fast, initial damping followed by a slower, damped response. We explain this damped response by the interplay of droplet and cantilever early dynamics. As expected, increasing the droplet viscosity dampens the magnitude of droplet spreading and displacement of the cantilever's tip due to a larger dissipation of kinetic energy in the bulk of the droplet. The decay is exponential in all cases, and the time taken to reduce the spreading and displacement is shorter with a larger viscosity. The damping coefficient is found to inversely scale with the cantilever length or mass. We corroborated the measurements with available analytical models, confirming the hypotheses used to explain the results. Overall, the present study provides fundamental insights into controlling the coupled dynamics of droplet and flexible substrates, with potential applications such as the design of efficient agricultural sprays and wings of microaerial vehicles
