Bulk advection and interfacial flows in the binary coalescence of surfactant-laden and surfactant-free drops.
This work focuses on the study of bulk flows accompanying the coalescence of two aqueous drops, one containing surfactant and the other surfactant-free, in silicone oils of various viscosities. It is observed that the surfactant-free drop intrudes into the surfactant-laden drop in the form of a penetrating jet whose speed increases and average radius decreases with increasing outer phase viscos...
متن کاملInviscid coalescence of drops
We study the coalescence of two drops of an ideal fluid driven by surface tension. The velocity of approach is taken to be zero and the dynamical effect of the outer fluid (usually air) is neglected. Our approximation is expected to be valid on scales larger than ℓ ν = ρν 2 /σ, which is 10nm for water. Using a high-precision boundary integral method, we show that the walls of the thin retractin...
متن کاملCoalescence of Liquid Drops
When two drops of radius R touch, surface tension drives an initially singular motion which joins them into a bigger drop with smaller surface area. This motion is always viscously dominated at early times. We focus on the early-time behavior of the radius rm of the small bridge between the two drops. The flow is driven by a highly curved meniscus of length 2πrm and width ∆ ≪ rm around the brid...
متن کاملCFD evaluation of drop retraction methods for the measurement of interfacial tension of surfactant-laden drops.
Drop retraction methods are popular means of measuring the interfacial tension between immiscible polymers. Experiments show that two different drop retraction methods, imbedded fiber retraction (IFR) and deformed drop retraction (DDR), give inconsistent results when a surfactant is present on the surface of the drop. These inconsistencies are deemed to be due to dilution of the surfactant and ...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Surfactant - Laden Drop - Drop
In this paper, we numerically investigate the effects of surfactant on dropdrop interactions in a 2D shear flow using a coupled level-set and immersed interface approach proposed in (Xu et al., J. Comput. Phys., 212 (2006), 590–616). We find that surfactant plays a critical and nontrivial role in drop-drop interactions. In particular, we find that the minimum distance between the drops is a non...
