What is Drop Impact: Bouncing vs. Non-Bouncing about?

This document investigates how viscous stresses and gravity oppose capillarity to inhibit drop rebound after impact. It presents a numerical study of drop impact on non-wetting surfaces. The study finds that close to the transition between bouncing and non-bouncing, the initial spreading stage can be decoupled from the later retraction and take-off. It proposes a criterion for this transition based on the Ohnesorge and Bond numbers. The criterion is found to agree well with numerical results.
