Capillary Pinch-off of Drops, Bubbles, and Liquid Lenses
C. Burton, Justin
Fluid pinch-off is possibly the simplest example of a finite-time singularity in a physical system. Quantities such as pressure and velocity diverge to infinity while length scales shrink to zero. The most ubiquitous example of pinch-off is a leaking faucet or the dripping of rain from the tip of a leaf. This work comprises the author`s PhD thesis, which classifies pinch-off in a number of systems including bubbles, droplets, and floating liqu...
