Notes:
In a close packed dispersion, a drop experiences forces from the surrounding drops which affect its shape and rate of coalescence. The geometry is complicated, but a simple model which may help clarify the phenomenon is that of a drop trapped between two horizontal surfaces under the action of an applied force.The differential equations governing the shape of the surface of such a drop have been solved numerically and the predicted drop dimensions checked experimentally by applying known forces to a drop and recording the shape photographically.
