TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an experimental data set at low capillary number to predict the outcomes of individual binary collisions between droplets, partially dried particles and completely dry particles, which can be used to validate future theories and simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, a phenomenological model is proposed to describe the boundaries demarcating the coalescence-separation regimes of binary collisions between droplets of milk concentrates, and the collision outcomes are presented in a regime map dependent on the dimensionless impact parameter and Weber (We) number.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of viscosity on the droplet-droplet collision outcome is studied using direct numerical simulations employing the volume of fluid method, and the role of viscous energy dissipation is analysed in collisions of droplets with different sizes and different physical properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the collision behavior of a shear thinning non-Newtonian fluid xanthan, by binary droplet collision experiments, revealing very rich and complex collision morphologies.

TL;DR: An improved particle generator based on electrodynamic powder fluidization is proposed and constructed for investigating single metal particle's combustion in this article, which is able to generate an iron particle moving upward with a well controlled velocity and trajectory and ignite it at near-uniform conditions by an infrared laser beam with flattened elliptical beam profile Mechanically sieved narrow fractions of spherical iron particles with mean sizes in the range of around 26-54 μ m were used in experiments Particle’s trajectories, velocities, and arbitrary radiant intensities were measured by taking images with a high-
