From natural occurring liquid aerosols, such as water droplets in clouds and mist, to industrially produced emulsions, such as cremes and pastes, droplets can be found almost anywhere in our everyday lives. It is therefore interesting to analyse the properties and in particular the dynamics of droplet suspensions. The focus in this work will be on stable droplet suspensions, i.e. the behaviour of two immiscible fluids, with the dispersed phase representing the droplet and the continuous phase the suspension.
