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 …

Waterbells result from the impact of a low-viscosity liquid jet (diameter D 0, velocity U 0) on a
solid surface (characteristic length D i) of similar size (D i∼ D0). Their stationary shape …

The unsteady dynamics of planar liquid sheet flows, interacting with unconfined gaseous
environments located on both sides of the liquid phase, is numerically investigated by …

It is known that the disintegration of vertical liquid curtains (sheets) is affected crucially by the
amplification of free edge holes forming inside the curtain. This paper aims to investigate the …

Our objective is to investigate the motion of a free two-dimensional edge of a liquid sheet,
which recedes and accumulates fluid as it is pulled back toward the bulk of the sheet due to …

The effects of isolated, cylindrical roughness elements on laminar–turbulent transition in a
flat-plate boundary layer are investigated in a laminar water channel. Our experiments aim …

In this paper, we analyse numerically the stability of the steady jetting regime of gaseous
flow focusing. The base flows are calculated by solving the full Navier–Stokes equations and …

Thin liquid sheets occur in several practical applications. In curtain coating, a thin liquid
sheet is formed and falls freely over a considerable height before it impinges onto a moving …

The unsteady global dynamics of a gravitational liquid sheet interacting with a one-sided
adjacent air enclosure (commonly referred to as nappe oscillation configuration) is …

The stability of a plane relaxational liquid jet has been studied theoretically and
experimentally through linear stability analysis and flow visualizations. The relaxational …
