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 …

Delayed capillary break-up of viscoelastic filaments presents scientific and technical
challenges relevant for drop formation, dispensing, and adhesion in industrial and biological …

Understanding the kinematics and dynamics of spreading, pinching, and coalescence of
drops is critically important for a diverse range of applications involving spraying, printing …

The presence of submicrometer structures at liquid-fluid interfaces modifies the properties of
many science and technological systems by lowering the interfacial tension, creating …

Quantitative studies of capillarity-driven pinching and extensional rheology of aqueous
solutions of polysaccharides like hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) are beyond the measurable …

Charge-bearing groups that ionize in solution influence the macromolecular conformations,
interactions, and dynamics of polyelectrolytes. The rich and complex shear rheological …

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 …

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 fluid as …
