Summary

Collisions among particles, droplets, and bubbles and their growth through coagulation is vital in the understanding of many multiphase problems. Similarly, particles, droplets, and bubbles can also breakup into smaller fragments and daughter droplets and bubbles. For example, it is now well established that collisions and coagulation of droplets play a central role in the formation of precipitation-size raindrops in a cloud (Mason, 1969; Yau and Rogers, 1979; Sundaram and Collins, 1997; Shaw, 2003; Grabowski and Wang, 2013).
