Fragmentation instabilities of a drop as it falls in a miscible fluid

Residori, S.; Buah-Bassuah, P.K.; Arecchi, F.T. (University of Cape Coast, 2007)

We review here a series of experiments on the fragmentation instabilities that a liquid drop undergoes it falls inside a fluid with which it is miscible, so called the solvent. Motivated by the original experiments initiated ...
On a liquid drop ”falling” in a heavier miscible fluid

Buah-Bassuah, Paul K.; Rojas, Rene; Residori, Stefania; Arecchi, F.T. (University of Cape Coast, 2005)

We report a new type of drop instability, where the density difference between the drop and the solvent is negative. We show that the drop falls inside the solvent down to a minimum height, then fragmentation takes place ...
Surface tension effects in the zero gravity inflow of a drop into a fluid

Residori, S.; Pampaloni, E.; Buah-Bassuah, P.K.; Arecchi, F.T. (University of Cape Coast, 2000)

As a drop of fluid is deposited on the surface of a miscible fluid (that we call the solvent), I tundergoes a strong pulling due to its surface rupture and it acquires a kinetic energy independently of gravity. For the ...
