Inelastic spreading of viscoelastic drops
Mete Abbot, Thijs Varkevisser, Manglesh Singh +3
When a liquid drop impacts a solid surface, rebound and splashing are known to be suppressed by additives that induce elastic effects; however, the influence of elasticity on the m…

A single length scale rules ballistic aggregation: travels of a droplet train
Nathan Vani, Stefan Kooij, Aritro Mukherjee +3
Ballistic aggregation is a canonical non-equilibrium process, relevant across scales from granular gases to planetary accretion. Collisions are driven by differences in velocities,…

What determines the breakup length of a jet?
Stefan Kooij, Daniel T. A. Jordan, Cees J. M. van Rijn +2
The breakup of a capillary jet into drops is believed to be governed by initial disturbances on the surface of the jet that grow exponentially. The disturbances are often assumed t…
