When a liquid drop falls from a fluid source with a slow flow rate, it remains attached to the source by an elongating liquid filament until the filament pinches off. For many fluids, this pinch-off occurs first near the end of the filament, where the filament joins to the liquid drop. For other fluids, the filament pinches off at one or more interior points. In this paper, we study the motion ...

The higher pollutant level in non premixed combustion and safety issues pertaining to can be counteracted by partially-premixed mode of combustion. partially flames (PPF) exhibit the benefits both flames. PPF enhances complete leading reduced soot formation hence lower emission. However, equivalence ratio plays an important role stability such This paper reports experimental investigation on fl...

When a drop impacts a thin fiber, a critical impact speed can be defined, below which the drop is entirely captured by the fiber, and above which the drop pinches-off and fractures. We discuss here the capture dynamics of both inviscid and viscous drops on flexible fibers free to deform following impact. We characterize the impact-induced elongation of the drop thread for both high and low visc...
