Surface-tension-driven coalescence
When fluid droplets coalesce, the flow is initially controlled by a balance between surface tension and viscosity. For low viscosity fluids such as water, the viscous lengthscale is quickly reached, yielding a new balance between surface tension and inertia. Numerical and asymptotic calculations hav...
