In electrospinning, polymer nanofibers are formed by the creation and elongation of an
electrified fluid jet. The path of the jet is from a fluid surface that is often, but not necessarily …

Surface-tension-driven flows and, in particular, their tendency to decay spontaneously into
drops have long fascinated naturalists, the earliest systematic experiments dating back to …

Jets, ie collimated streams of matter, occur from the microscale up to the large-scale
structure of the universe. Our focus will be mostly on surface tension effects, which result …

The operation of a piezo inkjet printhead involves a chain of processes in many physical
domains at different length scales. The final goal is the formation of droplets of all kinds of …

The reliable generation of micron-sized droplets is an important process for various
applications in droplet-based microfluidics. The generated droplets work as a self-contained …

A one‐dimensional model evolution equation is used to describe the nonlinear dynamics
that can lead to the breakup of a cylindrical thread of Newtonian fluid when capillary forces …

We study the elasto-capillary self-thinning and ultimate breakup of three polystyrene-based
ideal elastic fluids by measuring the evolution in the filament diameter as slender …

We consider the viscous motion of a thin axisymmetric column of fluid with a free surface. A
one-dimensional equation of motion for the velocity and the radius is derived from the Navier …

The liquid filament microrheometer originally described by provides a simple way of
extracting material parameters for Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids from measurements of …

The dynamics of drop-on-demand (DOD) drop formation have been studied experimentally
using an imaging system with an interframe time of 1 μ s and a spatial resolution of 0.81 μ …
