Instability of a moving contact line
Jens Eggers
We study a solid plate plunging into or being withdrawn from a liquid bath, to highlight the fundamental difference between the local behavior of an advancing or a receding contact…
Very viscous drops cannot break up
J. Eggers, M. A. Fontelos
We consider an axisymmetric, freely suspended fluid drop with surface tension, whose viscosity is so large that both inertia and forcing by an external fluid can be ignored. We sho…
A brief history of drop formation
Jens Eggers
Surface-tension-related phenomena have fascinated researchers for a long time, and the mathematical description pioneered by Young and Laplace opened the door to their systematic s…
Characteristic lengths at moving contact lines for a perfectly wetting fluid: the influence of speed on the dynamic contact angle
Jens Eggers, Howard A. Stone
It is common to relate the dynamic contact angle to the relative speed between the substrate and the contact line; theory suggests . In fact, available physi…
Hydrodynamic Singularities
Jens Eggers
We give a brief overview of the physical significance of singularities in fluid mechanics.
Spinning jets
Jens Eggers, Michael P. Brenner
A fluid jet with a finite angular velocity is subject to centripetal forces in addition to surface tension forces. At fixed angular momentum, centripetal forces become large when t…
