Viscous to inertial crossover in liquid drop coalescence.
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, at a sufficiently low approach velocity where deformation is not present, the drops coalesce with an unexpectedly late crossover time between a regime dominated by viscous and one dominated by inertial effects. We a...
متن کاملCapillary-inertial colloidal catapults upon drop coalescence.
Surface energy released upon drop coalescence is known to power the self-propelled jumping of liquid droplets on superhydrophobic solid surfaces, and the jumping droplets can additionally carry colloidal payloads toward self-cleaning. Here, we show that drop coalescence on a spherical particle leads to self-propelled launching of the particle from virtually any solid surface. The main prerequis...
متن کاملPartial coalescence between a drop and a liquid-liquid interface
This Letter reports experimental results for partial coalescence when a drop merges with an interface. We find an intermediate range of drop sizes in which the merger is not complete but a daughter drop is left behind. This phenomenon is governed primarily by inertia and interfacial tension, and three regimes can be further delineated depending on the roles of viscosity and gravity. Scaling rel...
متن کاملImpact of a viscous liquid drop.
We simulate the impact of a viscous liquid drop onto a smooth dry solid surface. As in experiments, when ambient air effects are negligible, impact flattens the falling drop without producing a splash. The no-slip boundary condition at the wall produces a boundary layer inside the liquid. Later, the flattening surface of the drop traces out the boundary layer. As a result, the eventual shape of...
متن کاملThe Oscillations of a Viscous Liquid Drop*
By virtue of Green's Theorem, it is shown that for the diffraction of anarbitrary two-dimensional incident pulse by a wedge of angle n, the ratio of the resultantvelocity potential to the corresponding value of the incident pulse at the corner ofthe wedge at any instant is equal to 2x/ (2x — n); and that for the diffraction of a three-dimensional pulse by a cone of solid angle u...
