From: Role of viscoelasticity in the appearance of low-Reynolds turbulence: considerations for modelling

The fusion of two cell aggregates: (a) geometry of the two-aggregate systems, (b) oscillatory decrease the rate of the neck radius change (the rate of the neck radius change was calculated from the experiments by Shafiee et al. [81]), (c) two possible scenarios for the fusion of a pair of cell aggregates: total coalescence and arrested coalescence
