VIP-DROP2 Droplet spreading of Carbopol in different gravity conditions

Droplet spreading of Carbopol solutions, shadowgraphy video recordings from microgravity experiments and ground reference at the ZARM drop tower. Part of the VIP-DROP2 experiment campaign. The mkv files are lossless compressed videos of the original recordings. A metadata file contains the calibration images used to determine the specific image resolutions in the experimental recordings. This archive also contains a HDF5 file for the postprocessed data from the VIP-DROP2 Carbopol experiments and corresponding simulations that were used to validate the scaling laws for the spreading of viscoplastic fluids. The details are described in the publication Heitmeiter et al., Spreading droplets of yield-stress fluids with and without gravity, Journal of Rheology (preprint at https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.04379).
