Item Effect of inertia on drop breakup under shear(2001-06) Renardy, Yuriko Y.; Cristini, VittorioA spherical drop, placed in a second liquid of the same density and viscosity, is subjected to shear between parallel walls. The subsequent flow is investigated numerically with a volume-of-fluid continuous-surface-force algorithm. Inertially driven breakup is examined. The critical Reynolds numbers are examined for capillary numbers in the range where the drop does not break up in Stokes flow.Item A new volume-of-fluid formulation for surfactants and simulations of drop deformation under shear at a low viscosity ratio(2001-06) Renardy, Yuriko Y.; Renardy, MichaelItem Scalings for fragments produced from drop breakup in shear flow with inertia(2001-06) Renardy, Yuriko Y.; Cristini, VittorioWhen a drop is sheared in a matrix liquid, the largest daughter drops are produced by elongative end-pinching. The daughter drop size is found to scale with the critical drop size that would occur under the same flow conditions and fluid properties.
