When elasticity affects drop coalescence
Pim J. Dekker, Michiel A. Hack, Walter Tewes +3
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. W…
Theory for the coalescence of viscous lenses
Walter Tewes, Michiel A. Hack, Charu Datt +2
Drop coalescence occurs through the rapid growth of a liquid bridge that connects the two drops. At early times after contact, the bridge dynamics is typically self-similar, with d…
Deformation and relaxation of viscous thin films under bouncing drops
Srinath Lakshman, Walter Tewes, Kirsten Harth +2
Thin, viscous liquid films subjected to impact events can deform. Here we investigate free surface oil film deformations that arise due to the air pressure buildup under the impact…
