Capillarity (surface tension) for incompressible viscous fluids (76D45)

Abstract: We consider an axisymmetric, freely suspended fluid drop with surface tension, whose viscosity is so large that both inertia and forcing by an external fluid can be ignored. We show that whatever be the initial condition, pinchoff can never occur.

Recommendations

• Extensional flow at low Reynolds number with surface tension
• Evolution and breakup of viscous rotating drops
• Extensional fall of a very viscous fluid drop
• Drops: The collapse of capillary jets
• Drop fragment distributions under shear with inertia
