Lifetime of oil drops pressed by buoyancy against a planar interface: Large drops

Lifetime of oil drops pressed by buoyancy against a planar interface: Large drops

In a previous report [C. Rojas, G. Urbina-Villalba, and M. Garc\'{\i}a-Sucre, Phys. Rev. E 81, 016302 (2010)] it was shown that emulsion stability simulations are able to reproduce the lifetime of micrometer-size drops of hexadecane pressed by buoyancy against a planar water-hexadecane interface. It was confirmed that small drops $({r}_{i}<10\text{ …
