The merging of two fluid drops is one of the fundamental topological transitions occurring in
free surface flow. Its description has many applications, for example, in the chemical industry …

Inspired by nature, superhydrophobic surfaces have been widely studied. Usually the
wettability of a superhydrophobic surface is quantified by the macroscopic contact angle …

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 …

The impact of droplets on a deep pool has applications in cleaning up oil spills, spray
cooling, painting, inkjet printing, and forensic analysis, relying on the changes in properties …

Jum**-droplet condensation, namely the out-of-plane jum** of condensed droplets
upon coalescence, has been a promising technical innovation in the fields of energy …

When a freely suspended liquid film ruptures, it retracts spontaneously under the action of
surface tension. If the film is surrounded by air, the retraction velocity is known to approach …

We present a theory on the coalescence of 2 spherical liquid droplets that are initially
stationary. The evolution of the radius of a liquid neck formed upon coalescence was …

Coalescence of argon droplets with a radius of 25, 50, and 100 nm is studied with
computational methods. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are carried out to generate …

Computations of the breakup of a liquid bridge are used to establish the limits of applicability
of similarity solutions derived for different breakup regimes. These regimes are based on …

Hypothesis Droplet coalescence process is important in many applications and has been
studied extensively when two droplets are surrounded by gas. However, the coalescence …
