Hypothesis Droplet coalescence is a common phenomenon and plays an important role in
many applications. When two liquid droplets are brought into contact, a liquid bridge forms …

The breakup and coalescence of drops are elementary topological transitions in interfacial
flows. The breakup of a drop changes dramatically when polymers are added to the fluid …

Coalescence of two droplets on a solid substrate is an interfacial phenomenon that imposes
the challenges of capturing the complex contact line motion and energy interaction between …

We investigate micrometer-sized flat droplets consisting of an isotropic core surrounded by a
nematic rim in freely suspended smectic A liquid-crystal films. In contrast to purely isotropic …

A basic feature of liquid drops is that they can merge upon contact to form a larger drop. In
spite of its importance to various applications, drop coalescence on prewetted substrates …

The dynamics of the pendant drop coalescing with a sessile drop to form a single daughter
droplet is known to form a bridge. The bridge evolution begins with a point contact between …

To better understand the coalescence of droplets, which play critical roles in diverse natural
processes and industrial applications, we give attention to the non-Newtonian rheology of …

Liquid lens coalescence is an important mechanism involved in many industrial and
scientific applications. It has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally, yet it is …
