Mathematical modelling of coalescence of viscous particles: An overview
Abstract
Abstract Viscous particles of polymer melts and glasses coalesce under the action of surface tension. Resistance is due to viscosity, while inertia is not a contributing factor, with the Ohnesorge number being very high. Russian physicist Yakov Frenkel developed a model for neck growth during the initial stage of the merging process of two spherical particles, assuming uniform biaxial extensional flow. Frenkel's model was extended for …
