We study a liquid jet that breaks up into drops in an external co-flowing liquid inside a confining microfluidic geometry. The jet breakup can occur right after the nozzle in a phenomenon named dripping or through the generation of a liquid jet that breaks up a long distance from the nozzle, which is called jetting. Traditionally, these two regimes have been considered to reflect the existence of two kinds of spatiotemporal instabilities of a fluid jet, the dripping regime corresponding to an absolutely unstable jet and the jetting regime to a convectively unstable jet. Here, we present quantitative measurements of the dripping and jetting regimes, both in an unforced and a forced state, and compare these measurements with recent theoretical studies of spatiotemporal instability of a confined liquid jet in a co-flowing liquid. In the unforced state, the frequency of oscillation and breakup of the liquid jet is measured and compared to the theoretical predictions. The dominant frequency of the jet oscillations as a function of the inner flow rate agrees qualitatively with the theoretical predictions in the jetting regime but not in the dripping regime. In the forced state, achieved with periodic laser heating, the dripping regime is found to be insensitive to the perturbation and the frequency of drop formation remains unaltered. The jetting regime, on the contrary, amplifies the externally imposed frequency, which translates in the formation of drops at the frequency imposed by the external forcing. In conclusion, the dripping and jetting regimes are found to exhibit the main features of absolutely and convectively unstable flows respectively, but the frequency selection in the dripping regime is not ruled by the absolute frequency predicted by the stability analysis.

A capillary jet falling under the effect of gravity continuously stretches while thinning downstream. We report here the effect of external periodic forcing on such a spatially varying jet in the jetting regime. Surprisingly, the optimal forcing freq
uency producing the most unstable jet is found to be highly dependent on the forcing amplitude. Taking benefit of the one-dimensional Eggers & Dupont (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 262, 1994, 205-221) equations, we investigate the case through nonlinear simulations and linear stability analysis. In the local framework the WKBJ formalism, established for weakly non-parallel flows, fails to capture the nonlinear simulation results quantitatively. However in the global framework, the resolvent analysis supplemented by a simple approximation of the required response norm inducing breakup, is shown to correctly predict the optimal forcing frequency at a given forcing amplitude and the resulting jet breakup length. The results of the resolvent analysis are found to be in good agreement with those of the nonlinear simulations.
Harnessing fluidic instabilities to produce structures with robust and regular properties has recently emerged as a new fabrication paradigm. This is exemplified in the work of Gumennik et al. [Nat. Comm. 4:2216, DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3216, (2013)], in
which the authors fabricate silicon spheres by feeding a silicon-in-silica co-axial fiber into a flame. Following the localized melting of the silicon, a capillary instability of the silicon-silica interface induces the formation of uniform silicon spheres. Here, we try to unravel the physical mechanisms at play in selecting the size of these particles, which was notably observed by Gumennik et al. to vary monotonically with the speed at which the fiber is fed into the flame. Using a simplified model derived from standard long-wavelength approximations, we show that linear stability analysis strikingly fails at predicting the selected particle size. Nonetheless, nonlinear simulations of the simplified model do recover the particle size observed in experiments, without any adjustable parameters. This shows that the formation of the silicon spheres in this system is an intrinsically nonlinear process that has little in common with the loss of stability of the underlying base flow solution.
We report the results of experiments that examined the dependence of the dripping dynamics of a leaky faucet on the orifice diameter. The transition of the dripping frequency between periodic and chaotic states was found to depend on the orifice diam
eter. We suggest a theoretical explanation for these transitions based on drop formation time scales. In addition, short-range anti-correlations were measured in the chaotic region. These too showed a dependence on the faucet diameter. Finally, a comparison was done between the experimental results with a one-dimensional model for drop formation. Quantitative agreement was found between the simulations and the experimental results.
Motivated by complex multi-fluid geometries currently being explored in fibre-device manufacturing, we study capillary instabilities in concentric cylindrical flows of $N$ fluids with arbitrary viscosities, thicknesses, densities, and surface tension
s in both the Stokes regime and for the full Navier--Stokes problem. Generalizing previous work by Tomotika (N=2), Stone & Brenner (N=3, equal viscosities) and others, we present a full linear stability analysis of the growth modes and rates, reducing the system to a linear generalized eigenproblem in the Stokes case. Furthermore, we demonstrate by Plateau-style geometrical arguments that only axisymmetric instabilities need be considered. We show that the N=3 case is already sufficient to obtain several interesting phenomena: limiting cases of thin shells or low shell viscosity that reduce to N=2 problems, and a system with competing breakup processes at very different length scales. The latter is demonstrated with full 3-dimensional Stokes-flow simulations. Many $N > 3$ cases remain to be explored, and as a first step we discuss two illustrative $N to infty$ cases, an alternating-layer structure and a geometry with a continuously varying viscosity.
Drop impact causes severe surface erosion, dictating many important natural, environmental and engineering processes and calling for tremendous prevention and preservation efforts. Nevertheless, despite extensive studies on various kinematic features
of impacting drops over the last two decades, the dynamic process that leads to the drop-impact erosion is still far from clear. Here, we develop a method of high-speed stress microscopy, which measures the key dynamic properties of drop impact responsible for erosion, i.e., the shear stress and pressure distributions of impacting drops, with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolutions. Our experiments reveal the fast propagation of self-similar noncentral stress maxima underneath impacting drops and quantify the shear force on impacted substrates. Moreover, we examine the deformation of elastic substrates under impact and uncover impact-induced surface shock waves. Our study opens the door for quantitative measurements of the impact stress of liquid drops and sheds light on the mysterious origin of drop-impact erosion.
