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.

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.

The drainage and rupture of partially-mobile films between colliding drops at constant approach velocity

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical study of the drainage and rupture of the liquid film between two drops whose centres approach each other at constant velocity is presented, restricted to the partially-mobile case and to small approach velocities.

Emulsion stability: an analysis of the effects of bulk and interfacial properties on film mobility and drainage rate

TL;DR: In this article, a hydrodynamic model is developed to predict the kinetics of thinning of emulsion films, such as those existing between two approaching liquid droplets or a drop coalescing at a bulk interface.

Particle motions in sheared suspensions

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

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.

Particle motions in sheared suspensions. XIV. Coalescence of liquid drops in electric and shear fields

TL;DR: The effects of electric fields and electric charges on the coalescence of collision doublets of fluid spheres suspended in a liquid undergoing laminar shear flow were studied using a technique which made it possible to create reproducible doublets as mentioned in this paper.
