The simple impact of a viscous drop on a lower-viscosity pool can stretch the drop liquid into thin sheets, which are wrapped and folded into intricate buckled shapes. Particle image velocimetry is used to show that a vortex ring, generated by the viscous stress at the drop-pool interface, drives the convoluted motions.
