The merging of two fluid drops is one of the fundamental topological transitions occurring in free surface flow. Its description has many applications, for example in the chemical industry …
The problem of coalescence-induced self-propelled jumping of droplet is studied using three- dimensional numerical simulation. The focus is on the effect of inertia and in particular the …

Coalescence of argon droplets with a radius of 25, 50, and 100 nm is studied with computational methods. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are carried out to generate …
The phenomenon of droplets coalescence-induced self-propelled jumping on homogeneous and heterogeneous superhydrophobic surfaces was numerically modeled …

A free-energy-based phase-field lattice Boltzmann method is proposed in this work to simulate multiphase flows with density contrast. The present method is to improve the Zheng …
The coalescence of liquid drops has conventionally been thought to have just two regimes when the drops are brought together slowly in vacuum or air: a viscous regime …
