Collision of a droplet and a solid particle

$

I want to model collision of a particle into a droplet. A ​water droplet is falling by gravity and a solid particle is shot toward that to ​hit the drop.​ Collision outcome is a conic liquid film​ which forms like a liquid skirt for particle​ (please see lamella formation in attached file).
​I need to simulate this phenomenon and compare the results with what I get from experiments. However, I need first to choose the most suitable simulation software capable of considering the followings:

- Particle motion in air and in droplet
- Change in particle-droplet interface during penetration of particle into droplet
- Effect of contact angle of liquid on particle surface

I need to know whether Comsol is capable of simulating this phenomenon. or it's better to use something else (OpenFoam, Fluent (we have license at university), Gerris​, etc.​)

I really appreciate your help in advance.
