End-pinching and inertial-capillary reopening in viscoplastic ligaments at low Ohnesorge number
Shu Yang, Fahim Tanfeez Mahmood, C. Ricardo Constante-Amores
Capillary retraction of liquid ligaments is well understood for Newtonian fluids, whereas viscoplastic effects remain comparatively unexplored. Here, we consider Herschel-Bulkley f…

Pinch-off dynamics for a Newtonian liquid thread draining in a viscoplastic medium
Shu Yang, Konstantinos Zinelis, Sourojeet Chakraborty +1
The pinch-off dynamics of a Newtonian liquid thread embedded in a viscoplastic medium is investigated using direct numerical simulations and theory. Thread breakup occurs below a n…
