Depressurization-induced drop breakup through bubble growth

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Drop breakup is often associated with boiling or violent impacts onto targets. We report on experiments where the decrease of ambient pressure triggers the growth of a bubble in a drop that sits on a textured hydrophobic surface. We find a transition from top-breakup to triple-line breakup depending on the initial contact angle of the drop, which is captured by a model based on inertial dynamics.
