Water balloons as macroscopic droplets: Effective surface tension and impact dynamics
Water balloons provide a simple model system for studying the dynamics of membrane-confined liquids, yet their quantitative relationship to classical liquid droplets remains unclear. In this work, we experimentally investigate the mechanical properties and impact dynamics of water balloons and compare them with those o...
