# gst: nonmonotonic appearance- disappearance behaviors of two unequal-sized miscible liquid drops

<< the coalescence process of two miscible liquid drops exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior of partial coalescence from appearance to disappearance and then reappearance with decreasing surface tension ratio. The strong lifting force of the intense Marangoni flow causes the reappearance of partial coalescence at higher surface tension difference between two drops. When the Ohnesorge number increases, high viscous forces restrict the propagation of Marangoni flow and do not favor the pinch-off, even in the presence of a significant surface tension difference. The generation of secondary drops at a considerable surface tension difference is also prevented for small parent drop size ratio. >>️
