Rayleigh-Plateau Instability on an angled and eccentric fiber: An alternative approach
Abstrak
This research explores the modulation of Rayleigh-Plateau Instability (RPI) by adjusting the orientation angle and eccentricity of a wire within a nozzle. We demonstrate that both the angle and eccentricity significantly influence the RPI regimes. They both also influence characteristics, such as velocity, wavelength, and droplet volume. Notably, when wires are both angled and eccentric, the effect of angle prevails. Our approach includes an empirical scaling analysis, comparing gravity, surface tension, and viscosity forces on a single bead, yielding a unified empirical viscous force law, enhancing understanding of RP regime dynamics. This new framework enriches our understanding of the forces at play in RPI and provides practical insights into the manipulation of fluid dynamics in industrial applications.
