The natural breakup length of a steady capillary jet
Alfonso M. Ganan-Calvo, Henry N. Chapman, Michael Heymann +9
Despite their fundamental and applied importance, a general model to predict the natural breakup length of steady capillary jets has not been proposed yet. In this work, we derive…
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…
The relationship between viscoelasticity and elasticity
J. H. Snoeijer, A. Pandey, M. A. Herrada +1
We consider models for elastic liquids, such as solutions of flexible polymers. They introduce a relaxation time into the system, over which stresses relax. We study the kinema…
