title: Partial coalescence of sessile drops with different miscible liquids.
abstract: Using computer simulations in three spatial dimensions, we examine the interaction between two deformable drops consisting of two perfectly miscible liquids sitting on a solid substrate under a given contact angle. Driven by capillarity and assisted by Marangoni effects at the droplet interfaces, several distinct coalescence regimes are achieved after the droplets' collision.
