Liquid Drops in a Viscous Fluid under the Influence of Gravity and Surface Tension
A drop of a viscous fluid in an infinite reservoir of another fluid will move under its own weight if the surrounding fluid has different density. This paper is concerned with steady motions, i.e. the motions of the two fluids are indeFendent of time with respect to an observer attached to the interface between them. We assume that the shape of this bounding surface is governed by surface tension.
متن کاملMigration and deformation of bubbles rising in a wall-bounded shear flow at finite Reynolds number
The quasi-steady migration and deformation of bubbles rising in a wall-bounded linear shear flow are investigated experimentally in the low-but-finite-Reynolds-number regime. A travelling optical device that follows the bubble is used for this purpose. This apparatus allows us to determine accurately the bubble radius, contour and rising speed, together with the distance between the bubble and ...
متن کاملSintering of viscous droplets under surface tension
We conduct experiments to investigate the sintering of high-viscosity liquid droplets. Free-standing cylinders of spherical glass beads are heated above their glass transition temperature, causing them to densify under surface tension. We determine the evolving volume of the bead pack at high spatial and temporal resolution. We use these data to test a range of existing models. We extend the mo...
متن کاملThe low-Reynolds number spreading of axisymmetric drops and gravity currents along a free surface
Experimental results are presented for the spreading of buoyant drops and gravity currents along a free surface. The spreading occurs at low Reynolds number, and no interfacial tension exists between the spreading and ambient fluid. Theoretical results suggest that distinct spreading rates occur in three regimes: l!@ ln(R/a)#a/R, a/R!l!R/a , and l@R/a , where l is the ratio of the spreading and...
متن کاملDeformation of a soft helical filament in an axial flow at low Reynolds number.
We perform a numerical investigation of the deformation of a rotating helical filament subjected to an axial flow, under low Reynolds number conditions, motivated by the propulsion of bacteria using helical flagella. Given its slenderness, the helical rod is intrinsically soft and deforms due to the interplay between elastic forces and hydrodynamic loading. We make use of a previously developed...
