#WeberNumber
Droplet penetration through a prewetted hole array occurs only within a finite region around the impact point.

A simple model links this penetration zone to film thickness, hole diameter and #WeberNumber.

Antibubble formation and dynamics in detergent solution: Effects of droplet impact conditions and flow parameters
An antibubble is a liquid droplet encapsulated by a thin air shell and immersed in the same liquid phase, representing the inverse configuration of a convention
