In this work, an assessment of different environmentally friendly formulations for shear
thickening fluids (STFs) is performed. These formulations consist of concentrated …

The present numerical study assesses the jet length, diameter and velocity of various non-
Newtonian power-law fluids of a gas dynamic virtual nozzle. A related two-phase flow …

We study experimentally the stability of micrometer weakly viscoelastic jets produced with
transonic flow focusing. Highly stable jets are formed when a low molecular weight polymer …

We study the bursting of bubbles in weakly viscoelastic liquids. The dissolved
macromolecules form a monolayer at the water–air interface, influencing the bubble …

Tip streaming is an elusive but fascinating phenomenon. Under particular conditions, some
external actuation of hydrodynamic or electrohydrodynamic nature stretches a droplet or …

The effects of viscoelasticity on the stability and morphology of the liquid cone in liquid–
liquid flow focusing are investigated experimentally and numerically. The particle tracers are …

This chapter focuses on some fundamental results of the classical steady cone-jet mode of
electrospray. Specifically, we review the scaling laws that allow one to estimate the droplet …

The tip streaming of simple fluids is affected by the densities and viscosities of the phases
involved in the phenomenon, as well as by the surface tensions of the interfaces formed …

As described in the previous chapter, tip streaming can be produced by accelerating the
fluid in the tip of a mother drop. Stresses of hydrodynamic or electrohydrodynamic nature …

We describe the geometries that produce the flow focusing effect and their applications. The
forces, flow patterns, and instability mechanisms in the low-viscosity and viscous cases are …
