โฆ Synopsis
An automatic apparatus has been developed and set up for the study of drop-interface coalescence. Most other studies have concentrated on events when the drop arrives at the interface with its terminal velocity. In our case, the drop is maintained fixed at the tip of a needle, and the interface is moved towards the drop at a controlled speed. The coalescence times are measured by means of a vectorial video camera focused on the drop. Several parameters have been investigated, such as the drop diameter, the relative drop-interface velocity, the phase system, the presence and the direction of mass transfer.

## Abstract When a small drop or bubble is driven through a liquid phase to a fluidโfluid interface, a thin liquid film which forms between them drains, until an instability forms and coalescence occurs. Lin and Slattery (1982b) developed a hydrodynamic theory for the first portion of this coalesce
The coalescence of oil drops in water is studied using acoustic levitation and stimulated with acoustic cavitation. Unlike most earlier studics, which investigate the coalescence of a single drop with an initially planar interface, the use of acoustic radiation forces allows two drops to be brought
