Gravitational collision efficiencies of small viscous drops at finite Stokes numbers and low Reynolds numbers

MA Rother, JK Stark, RH Davis - International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2022 - Elsevier
Collision efficiencies are calculated for two sedimenting spherical drops of different radii with
internal circulation under conditions such that drop inertia can be significant while the …

Point force singularities outside a drop covered with an incompressible surfactant: Image systems and their applications

VA Shaik, AM Ardekani - Physical Review Fluids, 2017 - APS
In this work we derive the image flow fields for point force singularities placed outside a
stationary drop covered with an insoluble, nondiffusing, and incompressible surfactant. We …
