Abstract
In this paper, the whole dynamic process of a single drop impact onto a thin liquid surface up to the consequent formation of a thin crown is numerically studied using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Especially, the gravity, artificial viscosity, and surface tension are introduced into the model. The obtained SPH numerical results are compared with experimental results. The numerical model of the SPH method is valid for simulating the dynamic process of a single drop impact onto a liquid surface. Meanwhile, it is found that the whole dynamic process mainly depends on the depth of the liquid pool and the initial velocity of the droplet.
