Breakup of an active chiral fluid
Luke Neville, Jens Eggers, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
The nonlinear breakup dynamics of a strip of active chiral fluid is considered, and it is shown that the strip thickness goes to zero as a power law in finite time. Applying slende…
Cone-jet Stokes solutions in strong viscous flows: the vanishing flow rate limit
Alfonso M. Ganan-Calvo, Miguel A. Herrada, Jens Eggers
Steady tip streaming in the vanishing flow rate limit has been evidenced both experimentally and numerically in the literature. However, local conical Stokes flow solutions support…
Viscoelastic wetting: Cox-Voinov theory with normal stress effects
Minkush Kansal, Vincent Bertin, Charu Datt +2
The classical Cox-Voinov theory of contact line motion provides a relation between the macroscopically observable contact angle, and the microscopic wetting angle as a function of…
Influence of the surface viscous stress on the pinch-off of free surfaces loaded with nearly-inviscid surfactants
A. Ponce-Torres, M. Rubio, M. A. Herrada +2
We analyze both theoretically and experimentally the breakup of a pendant water droplet loaded with Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS). The free surface minimum radius measured in the ex…
Self-similar breakup of polymeric threads as described by the Oldroyd-B model
J. Eggers, M. A. Herrada, J. H. Snoeijer
When a drop of fluid containing long, flexible polymers breaks up, it forms threads of almost constant thickness, whose size decreases exponentially in time. Using an Oldroyd-B flu…
Cusp-shaped Elastic Creases and Furrows
S. Karpitschka, J. Eggers, A. Pandey +1
The surfaces of growing biological tissues, swelling gels, and compressed rubbers do not remain smooth, but frequently exhibit highly localized inward folds. We reveal the morpholo…
