Abstract

In this fluid dynamics video we show simulations of droplet breakup and collisions in simple shear flow. Due to the high resolution of the GPU-based simulations, we capture the transition from coalescence at low capillary numbers to sliding at higher values.<br />Comment: Contains high and low resolution videos for the Gallery of Fluid Motion at the 2012 APS DFD Annual Meeting
