So, I use the same case every time, but I change the liquid phase properties on it. As I increase the droplet viscosity, formation of the liquid film due to impact is getting hindered (which is expected based on the physics of the impact). However, as shown in Fig. 1, there is a return point for this behavior (happens around mu=10 cP) which is not expected (although there are papers reported a similar behavior which hinders liquid &#8216;splashing&#8217; around the same viscosity mu=10).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;\">Initially, I use &#8216;2nd order upwind&#8217; for the momentum equation.
