Delayed coalescence behavior of droplets with completely miscible liquids

Because of capillary forces, sessile droplets usually fuse instantaneously after contact. We find however a delay of the droplet fusion by many seconds if the droplets consist of different but completely miscible liquids. After the initial contact, the main bodies of the droplets remain separated, c...

520 |a Because of capillary forces, sessile droplets usually fuse instantaneously after contact. We find however a delay of the droplet fusion by many seconds if the droplets consist of different but completely miscible liquids. After the initial contact, the main bodies of the droplets remain separated, connected only through a shallow conduit with a flow from the low to the high surface tension liquid. Sporadically, this connecting film can thicken with turbulent or pulsating flows. The droplets will finally fuse when the flow has sufficiently reduced the difference in composition and surface tension. We present calculations which explain this delayed droplet fusion with the compensation of the fusion-promoting capillary pressure by a droplet-separating dynamic pressure caused by the flow between the droplets. Droplets with high contact angles fuse instantaneously. In this case, no separation-stabilizing dynamic pressure can build up because the interdroplet flow becomes turbulent
