Formation of a thin film during drop merging leads to fingering instability — •Peyman Rostami1,2 and Günter Auernhammer1,21Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, 55128, Mainz, Germany — 2Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research, 01069, Dresden, Germany

The coalescence and interaction between two drops have been the subject of intensive studies in recent years [1], due to its wide range of application and the presence in the nature.

Here, we study the merging of partially miscible drop. We deposit drops of different liquids on a substrate. Under appropriate conditions, the merging process generates an instability which resembles the Rayleigh-Plateau instability. If the liquid with higher surface activity is deposited as a second droplet. Its vapor can diffuse through the air and induce a Marangoni flow inside the already deposited droplet. This induced flow can pull a thin liquid layer over the surface , which decays into drops by a Rayleigh-Plateau instability.

We present a detailed study of this instability analyzing the onset of the instability and its characteristic length scales. Finally, a model is presented to explain the Marangoni flow induced by the gas phase. This model is validated by particle tracking.
