Abstract

The fluid's motion inside emulsion droplets is analysed when they mutually approach along their common axis and a thin liquid film is formed outside. A qualitative flow pattern is presented. Two particular cases are treated — a creeping motion and a boundary layer flow inside the droplets. Estimates are made for the tangential velocity at the droplet/film interface, for the drag force and for the energy dissipated in the respective phases.
