Bouncing, bursting, and stretching: the effects of geometry on the dynamics of drops and bubbles

In this thesis, we develop a physical understanding of the effects of viscosity and geometry on the dynamics of interfacial flows in drops and bubbles. We first consider the coalescence of pairs of conical water droplets surrounded by air. Droplet pairs can form cones under the influence of an ele...
