Structure of Marangoni-driven singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
This work presents an analytical study of the structure of steady Marangoni-driven singularities in the context of chemical-reaction driven tip-streaming, which identifies the conditions when such singularities are observable. As motivated by experimental observations of the conical symmetry of the problem, one can construct self-similar solutions of the Stokes equations, which are singular at the tip; these solutions, however, provide no information on the thread structure which is responsible for a resolution of the singularity via tip-streaming. The cone-tip singularity is resolved here with the help of asymptotic matching of the cone and thread solutions using slender jet approximation, which gives an explicit asymptotic formula for the thread radius and thus of the emitted droplets size as a function of physical parameters governing the problem.

Marangoni-driven singularities via mean-curvature flow
In this work, it is demonstrated that the existence and topology of the recently observed interfacial singularities driven by Marangoni effects can be deduced using mean-curvature flow theory extended to account for variations of interfacial tension. This suggests that some of the physical mechanisms underlying the formation of these interfacial singularities may originate from/be modeled by th...
متن کاملStructure-property Interaction in Flux Assisted Tungsten Inert Gas Welding of Austenitic Stainless Steel
Austenitic stainless steel SS304 grade was welded with active Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process by applying a flux paste made of SiO2 powder and acetone. SiO2 flux application improves the weld bead depth with a simultaneous reduction in weld bead width. The improvement in penetration results from arc constriction and reversal of Marangoni convection. Experimental studies revealed that t...
متن کاملOn Marangoni convective patterns driven by an exothermic chemical reaction in two-layer systems
This article is devoted to the investigation of Marangoni-driven pattern formation at the interface between two immiscible fluids filling a Hele-Shaw cell, each of them containing a reactant of an exothermic neutralization reaction. In such a system, convective patterns arise when one reactant diffuses through the interface to react with the other chemical species in one of the fluids. A chemo-...
متن کاملNonlinear Marangoni convection in circular and elliptical cylinders
The spatial organization of single-fluid Marangoni convection in vertical cylinders with circular and elliptical horizontal cross-section is described. The convection is driven by an imposed heat flux from above and driven by Marangoni stresses at a free but undeformed surface due to temperature-dependent surface tension. The solutions and their stability characteristics are obtained using bran...
