(A) Position x as a function of time t for a liquid nitrogen drop on silicone oils. The two lines correspond to two different viscosities: ν = 5 mm2/s (solid line) and ν = 1,000 mm2/s (dashed line). The drop diameter is kept constant (D ≈ 3 mm), and the initial velocity is 40 cm/s. (B and C) Close view of the same drop: (B) ν = 5 mm2/s and V ≈ 30 cm/s; (C) ν = 1,000 mm2/s and V ≈ 40 cm/s.
