Dripping, jetting and tip streaming have been studied up to a certain point separately by both
fluid mechanics and microfluidics communities, the former focusing on fundamental aspects …

A common feature of many free surface flows—drop/bubble breakup or coalescence and
film/sheet rupture—is the occurrence of hydrodynamic singularities. Accurately computing …

Adsorption onto and lowering of surface tension σ of fluid interfaces by surfactants is
exploited in drop formation (eg, inkjet printing) where a thinning liquid thread (radius h) …

The contraction of liquid filaments plays a central role in applications as diverse as inkjet
printing and atomization where the formation of monosized primary drops is desirable, but …

Cavitation occurs widely in nature and engineering and is a complex problem with
multiscale features in both time and space due to its associating violent oscillations. To …

In this review, we describe both theoretical and experimental results on the dynamics of
liquid bridges under isothermal conditions with fixed triple contact lines. These two major …

The droplet breakup technology can effectively increase the generation throughput and
adjust the droplets size, which has an important impact on the performance of the double …

The dynamics of capillary breakup of a fluid thread of a dilute polymer solution near the Θ-
point is studied using a molecular approach. Several regimes arising during the …

Surfactants at fluid interfaces not only lower and cause gradients in surface tension but can
induce additional surface rheological effects in response to dilatational and shear …

The breakup of low-viscosity droplets like water is a ubiquitous and rich phenomenon.
Theory predicts that in the inviscid limit one observes a finite-time singularity, giving rise to a …
