Abstract
The effect of target cross-sectional geometry on drop splashing is investigated using surfaces with length scales comparable to the drop diameter. The target cross-sectional geometries are regular polygon shapes that vary from a triangle (n = 3) to a decagon (n = 10), where n is the number vertices. The impacting cross-sectional surface area of all targets is constrained to equal the cross-sectional area of the impacting drop which is 6.38 mm2.
