Shear-Induced Droplet Breakup and Subsequent Coalescence of the Daughter Droplets
arXiv:1210.3674
Abstract
In this fluid dynamics video we show simulations of droplet breakup and collisions in simple shear flow. Due to the high resolution of the GPU-based simulations, we capture the transition from coalescence at low capillary numbers to sliding at higher values.
