The use of edible coatings on fresh and processed food products as a means of extending
shelf life by preventing or delaying spoilage, providing a partial barrier to moisture, oxygen …

Jets, ie collimated streams of matter, occur from the microscale up to the large-scale
structure of the universe. Our focus will be mostly on surface tension effects, which result …

Capillarity is the familiar manifestation of the cohesion of liquids. Since Laplace (Traité de
mécanique céleste, vol. IV, supplément au livre X: Sur l'action capillaire, 1805, pp. 1–65), we …

The high-speed impact of a droplet on a bulk fluid at high Weber number (We) is not well
understood but is relevant to the production of marine aerosol by raindrop impact on the sea …

Droplet dismembering has been a research topic in several fields. This phenomenon mainly
occurs because of the velocity gradient between the continuous medium and dispersed …

An electrospinning technique with an additional centrifugal field was employed to prepare
polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers. The results indicated that combining the strong stretching …

We propose a regularized thin-fiber (string) model that overcomes past numerical limitations
and allows determination of the steady fiber velocity and diameter of a semi-infinite …

Transport Phenomena in Dispersed Media addresses the main problems associated with
the transfer of heat, mass and momentum. The authors focus on the analytical solutions of …

A liquid jet follows a curved trajectory when the orifice from which the jet emerges is rotating.
Surface-tension-driven instabilities cause the jet to lose coherence and break to form …

We examine a spiralling slender viscous jet emerging from a rapidly rotating orifice,
extending Wallwork et al.[IM Wallwork, SP Decent, AC King, RMSM Schulkes, The trajectory …
