Popis: This experimental note is concerned with a new effect we discovered in the course of studying water hammering phenomena. Namely, the ejecta originating from the solid plate impact on a water surface brings about a liquid rim at its edge with the fluid flowing towards the rim center and forming a singular structure resembling a “pancake.” Here, we present the experimental observations and a qualitative physical explanation for the effect, which proves to be fundamental to the situation when the size and speed of the impacting body are such that the capillary effects become important.
