Coalescence dynamics of unequal sized drops

H Deka, G Biswas, S Chakraborty, A Dalal - Physics of Fluids, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
In this study, coalescence dynamics of two unequal sized drops of the same liquid have
been investigated using the coupled level set and volume of fluid method. A broad range of …

Generation of secondary droplets in coalescence of a drop at a liquid–liquid interface

B Ray, G Biswas, A Sharma - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2010 - cambridge.org
When a droplet of liquid 1 falls through liquid 2 to eventually hit the liquid 2–liquid 1
interface, its initial impact on the interface can produce daughter droplets of liquid 1. In some …

The influence of surface tension gradients on drop coalescence

The electrocoalescence of a water drop at the water/oil interface in the presence of
externally direct current electric fields was numerically analyzed with the finite element …

Droplets bouncing on a wet, inclined surface

T Gilet, JWM Bush - Physics of Fluids, 2012 - pubs.aip.org
We present the results of an experimental investigation of fluid drops impacting an inclined

Satellite formation during coalescence of unequal size drops

FH Zhang, EQ Li, ST Thoroddsen - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
The coalescence of a drop with a flat liquid surface pinches off a satellite from its top, in the
well-known coalescence cascade, whereas the coalescence of two equally sized drops …
