Drop Coalescence Simulation, figure 1

An axisymmetric volume-of-fluid simulation of a water drop coalescing into a flat pool, built on the Basilisk CFD framework with adaptive mesh refinement. The solver resolves the spreading dynamics through coalescence and tracks the full energy budget — kinetic, surface, and viscous dissipation — as the drop merges. The code is open source.
