Title
Critical behavior of drops in linear flows: I. Phenomenological theory for drop dynamics near critical stationary states
Authors

Abstract
The dynamics of viscous drops in linear creeping flows are investigated near the critical flow strength at which stationary drop shapes cease to exist. It is shown that the near-critical drop behavior is dominated by a single slow mode that evolves on the time scale diverging at the critical point with the exponent 1/2.
