Electrocoalescence is modelled using dipolar electrostatic forces which bring the droplets together but are resisted by Stokesian drag forces. We demonstrate that hydrodynamic interactions are important to model electrocoalescence. Similarly, a multi box methodology is necessary for getting improved statistics for drop size distribution, since any coagulation/coalescence process, typically results in the loss of droplets. Moreover, the process of chaining can be modelled by assuming a “wait-time” on contact of the interacting drops, and n-mer formation can be predicted.
