Fig. 7: Time evolution of Δzcm and Δycm in a three-core emulsion.

From: The vortex-driven dynamics of droplets within droplets

Fig. 7

Cores 1 and 2 show a periodic motion around a common center of mass in the bottom region of the emulsion while core 3 travels persistently along a circular path confined in the upper part. The inset shows four instantaneous configurations of ϕi during a periodic cycle. White arrows denote the trajectories of the cores. Snapshots are taken at t = 6.22 × 105 (a), t = 6.96 × 105 (b), t = 7.8 × 105 (c), t = 8.42 × 105 (d).
