abstract = {A basic feature of liquid drops is that they can merge upon
contact to form a larger drop. In spite of its importance to
various applications, drop coalescence on pre-wetted
substrates has received little attention. Here, we
experimentally and theoretically reveal the dynamics of drop
coalescence on a thick layer of a low-viscosity liquid. It
is shown that these so-called 'liquid lenses' merge by the
self-similar vertical growth of a bridge connecting the two
lenses. Using a slender analysis, we derive similarity
solutions corresponding to the viscous and inertial limits.
Excellent agreement is found with the experiments without
any adjustable parameters, capturing both the spatial and
temporal structure of the flow during coalescence. Finally,
we consider the crossover between the two regimes and show
that all data of different lens viscosities collapse on a
single curve capturing the full range of the coalescence
dynamics.},
