Abstract

Abstract Dynamics of the fusion of two droplets of the same fluid is investigated. Numerical modeling of a two-phase gas–liquid system reveals oscillating changes in the shape of the droplets over time for different properties of the fluids. A procedure is proposed for estimating the end time of the oscillatory mode of droplet coalescence.
