Electrohydrodynamic-induced partial coalescence between a droplet and a liquid–air interface

H Chen, W Chen, Z Yin, H Fang - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
When a droplet coalesces with a flat liquid–air interface, a secondary drop may be left
behind resulting in only a partial coalescence rather than complete coalescence. In this …

A study of two unequal-sized droplets undergoing oblique collision
