Capillary Instability of Free Liquid Jets

Handbook of Atomization and Sprays

Abstract

This chapter deals with capillary instability of straight free liquid jets moving in air. It begins with linear stability theory for small perturbations of Newtonian liquid jets and discusses the unstable modes, characteristic growth rates, temporal and spatial instabilities and their underlying physical mechanisms. The linear theory also provides an estimate of the main droplet size emerging from capillary breakup. Formation of satellite modes is treated in the framework of either asymptotic methods or direct numerical simulations. Then, such additional effects like thermocapillarity, or swirl are taken into account. In addition, quasi-one-dimensional approach for description of capillary breakup is introduced and illustrated in detail for Newtonian and rheologically complex liquid jets (pseudoplastic, dilatant, and viscoelastic polymeric liquids).
