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…
Capillarity driven spreading of circular drops of shear-thinning fluid
S. I. Betelu, M. A. Fontelos
We investigate the spreading of thin, circular liquid drops of power-law rheology. We derive the equation of motion using the thin film approximation, construct source-type similar…
The beads-on-string structure of viscoelastic threads
C. Clasen, J. Eggers, M. A. Fontelos +2
By adding minute concentrations of a high molecular weight polymer, liquid jets or bridges collapsing under the action of surface tension develop a characteristic shape of uniform…
Analysis of the self-similar spreading of power law fluids
D. G. Aronson, S. I. Betelu, M. A. Fontelos +1
We consider the equation that models the spreading of thin liquid films of power-law rheology. In particular, we analyze the existence and uniqueness of source-type self-similar so…
