Coalescence collision of liquid drops I: Off-center collisions of equal-size drops

The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method (SPH) is used here to model off-center collisions of equal-size liquid drops in a three-dimensional space. In this study the Weber number is calculated for several conditions of the droplets dynamics and the velocity vector fields formed inside the drops du...
