TLDR
In this article, the effect of hydrodynamic coupling of adjacent phases on axisymmetric drainage of thin films is examined using a prototype model of coalescence for long times, pressure forces in the film dominate flow in all three regions, and finally all move effectively as one, whereas for short times, profiles are sharp and initial flow differences in the three regions can dominate pressure effects.About:

Drop coalescence through a liquid/liquid interface
TL;DR: Particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiments were conducted to study the coalescence of single drops through planar liquid/liquid interfaces as discussed by the authors, which were obtained with a high-speed video camera and subsequent PIV analysis.

Particle motions in sheared suspensions
W Bartok,S. G. Mason +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the rotations executed by rigid rods, fused doublets of equal-sized spheres, and the transitory doublets formed by collision of equal sized spheres suspended in a liquid subjected to laminar shear, have been studied by making observations along the planes of shear.

Shape of a fluid drop at a liquid-liquid interface☆
TL;DR: In this article, the equilibrium shape of a drop at a liquid-liquid interface has been computed as a function of drop size, interfacial tension, and density difference between the phases.

Particle motions in sheared suspensions
A. Karnis,S. G. Mason +1 more
TL;DR: The effects of diffusion out of and into drops undergoing equatorial collision in laminar shear flow were studied in this paper, where diffusion into undeformed drops enhanced coalescence while diffusion from the drops inhibited it.
