The breaking of axisymmetric noncylindrical liquid bridges
Abstract
The dynamic behavior of axisymmetric inviscid liquid bridges near the stability limit of minimum volume was studied using a one dimensional slice model. Although model validity is questionable regarding short bridges, it seems to be appropriate for sufficiently slender bridges. Interface evolution of noncylindrical configurations as well as overall data (such as the breaking time, or partial volume of the resulting drops) which can be easily verified experimentally, are obtained.
