interFoam: strange doplet behaviour at mesh transition

i am trying to simulate droplets moving on a 2D-plane,
bc of geometry my cells transition at certain points, see pic1. right at the transition point, the lighter droplets are dragged down. compare pic 2 und 3, before and after photos. i draw a circle around one droplet to compare the two states. that happens to all droplets but smaller droplets are carried more aggressively. any help is appreciated. |

i tried various things already without success:
1. mesh refinement: i used the same meshing style but with much finer cells 2. changed meshing strategy completely with tet-mesh and unstructured hex mesh: there are droplets now that stay in place and don't move, they just wiggle around like the one in the 2 screenshots. |

i think due to momentum of the carrier fluid smaller droplets are affected more because they are lighter. Are the droplets moving inside a liquid?

i played around with the numerics and solved it.
of course the carrier fluid has an impact, but the mesh transition and standard numerics lead to that unphysical flow behaviour. |
