Overview

This paper explores pinch-off dynamics and oscillations in viscous liquid threads, highlighting self-similar behavior.

Key Points

  • Experimental findings reveal that the shrinking speed overshoots before reaching a stable pinch-off similarity solution.
  • In the visco-inertial scenario, convergence to stability is oscillatory, while it is monotonic in the viscous case.
  • Systematic differences between experimental and numerical results emerge in the visco-inertial regime, likely due to unaccounted variables.
  • Both experimental and numerical analyses indicate good agreement in the viscous regime, strengthening the validity of the approach.
