Drop coalescence in technical liquid/liquid applications: a review on experimental techniques and modeling approaches (2017, result): “For comparison, the experiments of Thoroddsen and Takehara (2000), who investigated the coalescence of ethanol droplets in air and found a similar exponent of x = 1.5 as in liquid/liquid systems, are given in Table 3.”
Electrostatic phase separation: a review (2015, background): “Sometimes it also exhibits the cascade of the hopping secondary drops at the interface and the simultaneous formation of finer daughter droplets (Charles and Mason, 1960b; Honey and Kavehpour, 2006; Thoroddsen and Takehara, 2000).”
The coalescence speed of a pendent and a sessile drop (2005, background): “This drop size is consistent with the smallest droplets observed by Thoroddsen & Takehara (2000) in the capillary–inertial coalescence cascade, where a 180 µm drop has been observed to eject at high speed a 90 µm diameter satellite droplet.”
Pyramidal and toroidal water drops after impact on a solid surface (2003, background): “The case of a liquid substrate is quite different, as shown by Thoroddsen & Takehara (2000), leading to a bell shape with concentric surface disturbances, which eject droplets from the centre before coalescing with the bulk fluid.”
Capillary Flows with Forming Interfaces (2007, background): “At the same time, due to the complex nature of these flows there are still many amazing effects waiting to be discovered and understood even in seemingly simple phenomena we see every day (e.g., Thoroddsen & Takehara 2000, see Fig.”
On spray formation (2004, background): “The resulting ‘coalescence cascade’ due to the confusion of these two timescales is nicely shown in Thoroddsen & Takehara (2000).”
Air entrapment under an impacting drop (2003, background): “This leads to the ‘coalescence cascade’, studied by Thoroddsen & Takehara (2000), which results in repeated contact events and associated air entrapment.”
Partial coalescence of drops at liquid interfaces (2006, background): “Occasionally, a drop in the process of merging apparently defies surface tension by ‘pinching off’ before total coalescence occurs, leaving behind a smaller daughter drople”
Properties of liquid marbles (2006, unknown): “When the coalescence occurs, a small drop is often ejected, following a mechanism observed by Thorrodsen [9].”
