dc.description.abstractEn | An investigation of the coalescence of two water drops on a surface is presented and compared with drop spreading. The associated capillary numbers are very low (< 10-5). The drops relax exponentially towards equilibrium. The typical relaxation time tc decreases with contact angle. tc is proportional to the drop size R, thus defining a characteristic velocity U* =R/tc. The corresponding U* values are smaller by many orders of magnitude than the bulk hydrodynamic velocity (U = /, with the gas-liquid surface tension and the viscosity). The dynamics of receding (coalescence) and spreading motion is found of the same order when coalescence or spreading is induced by a syringe. The dynamics of coalescence induced with the syringe deposition is systematically faster by an order of magnitude than condensation-induced coalescence. This disparity is explained by the coupling of the contact line motion with the oscillation of the drop observed for syringe deposition but absent for condensation-induced coalescence. | |
