Coalescence of bubbles and drops in an outer fluid
Joseph D. Paulsen, Rémi Carmigniani, Anerudh Kannan +2
When two liquid drops touch, a microscopic connecting liquid bridge forms and rapidly grows as the two drops merge into one. Whereas coalescence has been thoroughly studied when dr…
Approach and Coalescence of Liquid Drops in Air
Joseph D. Paulsen
The coalescence of liquid drops has conventionally been thought to have just two regimes when the drops are brought together slowly in vacuum or air: a viscous regime corresponding…
The inexorable resistance of inertia determines the initial regime of drop coalescence
Joseph D. Paulsen, Justin C. Burton, Sidney R. Nagel +3
Drop coalescence is central to diverse processes involving dispersions of drops in industrial, engineering and scientific realms. During coalescence, two drops first touch and then…
Viscous to Inertial Crossover in Liquid Drop Coalescence
Joseph D. Paulsen, Justin C. Burton, Sidney R. Nagel
Using an electrical method and high-speed imaging we probe drop coalescence down to 10 ns after the drops touch. By varying the liquid viscosity over two decades, we conclude that…
