Figure 3.

(a) Measured splashing velocity as a function of surface tension for stainless steel (blue circles) and borosilicate glass (yellow squares). The green line depicts the splashing velocity as given by the full splashing model [eq 6], whereas the red dashed line shows the splashing velocity as calculated from the simplified model [eq 14]. (b) Measured splashing velocity of blood (dark blue) for glass (circle), PMMA (square), POM (diamond), and Trespa (triangle) compared to the predicted splashing velocity of the full splashing model (open green symbols) and simplification (open red symbols).
