Interface pinch-off in the presence of a soluble surfactant

M. Rubio, S. Rodríguez-Aparicio, J. M. Montanero +1

We study numerically and experimentally the breakup of a pendant droplet loaded with a soluble surfactant. We consider the limit in which surfactant sorption is limited only by dif…

The role of charge relaxation in electrified tip streaming

M. Rubio, P. Rodríguez-Díaz, J. M. López-Herrera +3

We study experimentally and numerically the onset of tip streaming in an electrified droplet. The experiments show that, for a sufficiently small dimensionless conductivity, the dr…

Effect of an axial electric field on the breakup of a leaky-dielectric liquid filament

M. Rubio, A. Ponce-Torres, M. A. Herrada +2

We study experimentally and numerically the thinning of a Newtonian leaky-dielectric filament subject to an axial electric field. We consider moderately viscous liquids with high p…

Breakup of an electrified viscoelastic liquid bridge

Manuel Rubio, Emilio J. Vega, Miguel A. Herrada +2

We study both numerically and experimentally the breakup of a viscoelastic liquid bridge between two parallel electrodes. We solve the leaky-dielectric FENE-P model to describe the…

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…
