Studies on the binary coalescence model - I. Jumping coalescence phenomenon
The jumping coalescence phenomenon between two separate water drops under microgravitation was observed for the first time. Two suspended water drops separated by quite a distance (0.558 mm) coalesce in a certain time (158 s) without any extra forces. The coalescence driving force within the water drops should be responsible for the jumping coalescence phenomenon.
