Dripping, jetting and tip streaming

JM Montanero, AM Gañán-Calvo - Reports on Progress in …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Fluid dynamic instabilities: theory and application to pattern forming in complex media

F Gallaire, PT Brun - … Transactions of the Royal Society A …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In this review article, we exemplify the use of stability analysis tools to rationalize pattern
formation in complex media. Specifically, we focus on fluid flows, and show how the …

A numerical method to study the dynamics of capillary fluid systems

MA Herrada, JM Montanero - Journal of Computational Physics, 2016 - Elsevier
We propose a numerical approach to study both the nonlinear dynamics and linear stability
of capillary fluid systems. In the nonlinear analysis, the time-dependent fluid region is …

Capillary breakup of a liquid bridge: identifying regimes and transitions

Y Li, JE Sprittles - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016 - cambridge.org
Computations of the breakup of a liquid bridge are used to establish the limits of applicability
of similarity solutions derived for different breakup regimes. These regimes are based on …

Stable production of fluid jets with vanishing diameters via tip streaming

M Rubio, JM Montanero, J Eggers… - Journal of Fluid …, 2024 - cambridge.org
We study numerically the microjetting mode obtained when a fluid is injected through a tube
submerged in a uniaxial extensional flow. The steady solution to the full nonlinear Navier …

Global stability of stretched jets: conditions for the generation of monodisperse micro-emulsions using coflows

JM Gordillo, A Sevilla, F Campo-Cortés - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
In this paper we reveal the physics underlying the conditions needed for the generation of
emulsions composed of uniformly sized drops of micrometric or submicrometric diameters …

Simple and double microemulsions via the capillary breakup of highly stretched liquid jets

A Evangelio, F Campo-Cortés… - Journal of Fluid …, 2016 - cambridge.org
We present an exhaustive experimental and theoretical study of the shapes of simple and
compound jets formed when one (simple) or two (compound) immiscible liquids are injected …

Global stability of axisymmetric flow focusing

F Cruz-Mazo, MA Herrada, AM Gañán-Calvo… - Journal of Fluid …, 2017 - cambridge.org
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 …

Natural break-up and satellite formation regimes of surfactant-laden liquid threads

A Martínez-Calvo, J Rivero-Rodríguez… - Journal of Fluid …, 2020 - cambridge.org
We report a numerical analysis of the unforced break-up of free cylindrical threads of viscous
Newtonian liquid whose interface is coated with insoluble surfactants, focusing on the …

Dripping dynamics and transitions at high Bond numbers

M Rubio-Rubio, P Taconet, A Sevilla - International Journal of Multiphase …, 2018 - Elsevier
We report experiments on the dripping dynamics and jetting transitions that take place when
a liquid is injected vertically downwards at a constant flow rate, for wide ranges of the liquid …
