  The oblique impact of a liquid droplet onto a deep liquid pool is studied
numerically with the adaptive volume-of-fluid solver Basilisk. The splashing
threshold, cavity formation, cavity evolution and the maximum cavity dimensions
are quantified as a function of the Weber number and the impact angle. We
compare the numerical results with recent experimental work by Gielen et al.
[Phys. Rev. Fluids 2, 083602 (2017)]. Similarly to the experimental results,
three different impact regimes are observed: deposition of the droplet onto the
pool, single-sided splashing in the direction of the impact and splashing in
all directions. We show good qualitative and quantitative agreement of the
splashing behaviour and cavity formation between the simulations and the
experiments. Furthermore, the simulations provide a three dimensional view of
the impact phenomenon, give access to velocity and pressure fields, and allow
to explore impact parameters that are hard to achieve experimentally.
