- Additional information
- This work is the first demonstration of in-drop mixing controlled by coalescence of droplets with different interfacial tensions (using additives or different liquids). Particle-image-velocimetry (PIV) experiments were used to validate a state-of-the-art numerical model simulating the observed mixing phenomena. The work, funded by the EPSRC MEMPHIS Programme Grant joint with Imperial College London (EP/K003976/1), has led to follow-on funding from P&G (contact Zayeed Alam, alam.z@pg.com).
