Partial Coalescence of Sessile Drops with Different Miscible Liquids
Using computer simulations in three spatial dimensions, we examine the interaction between two deformable drops consisting of two perfectly miscible liquids sitting on a solid substrate under a given contact angle. Driven by capillarity and assisted by Marangoni effects at the droplet interfaces, several distinct coalescence regimes are achieved after the droplets' collision.
