The coalescence of water drops on a substrate is studied experimentally. We focus on the rapid growth of the bridge connecting the two drops, which very quickly after contact ensues from a balance of surface tension and liquid inertia. For drops with contact angles below 90 degrees, we find that the bridge grows with a self-similar dynamics that is characterized by a height h similar to t(2/3). By contrast, the geometry of coalescence changes dramatically for contact angles at 90 degrees, for which we observe h similar to t(1/2), just as for freely suspended spherical drops in the inertial regime. We present a geometric model that quantitatively captures the transition from 2/3 to 1/2 exponent, and unifies the inertial coalescence of sessile drops and freely suspended drops.
