In this paper, the authors study the initial value problem posed by the small amplitude free oscillations of free drops, gas bubbles, and drops in a host liquid when viscous effects cannot be neglected.
Abstract
We study the initial-value problem posed by the small-amplitude (linearized) free oscillations of free drops, gas bubbles, and drops in a host liquid when viscous effects cannot be neglected. It is found that the motion consists of modulated damped oscillations, with the damping parameter and frequency approaching only asymptotically the results of the normal-mode analysis. The connexion with the normal-mode method is demonstrated explicitly and the experimental relevance of our results is discussed.

The double-mass model of drop deformation and secondary breakup

TL;DR: In this article, a new analytical model of drop deformation and secondary breakup is presented, which is a direct extension of the TAB (Taylor Analogy Breakup) model of O'Rourke and Amsden.

Simulation of mass transfer from an oscillating microdroplet

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed slow evaporation of an oscillating microdroplet having a sufficiently low vapor pressure such that it remains at the surrounding gas temperature and has a negligibly small rate of change of diameter.

High-speed monodisperse droplet generation by ultrasonically controlled micro-jet breakup

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the control of this process by superimposing a suitable ultrasonic signal, which causes the jet to break up into a very precise train of monodisperse droplets.

Shape oscillating bubbles: hydrodynamics and mass transfer - a review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the subject of bubble oscillations, the associated hydrodynamics and the effect of bubbles on mass transfer in gas-liquid contact equipment, focusing on rising and shape oscillating bubbles with little or negligible apparent volume change, rather than on volume oscillations.

Shape deformation and oscillation of particle-laden bubbles after pinch-off from a nozzle

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed investigation of microparticle-laden bubbles rising in water after being released from a nozzle was carried out to determine the influence of bubble surface coverage on the interface dynamics after pinch-off.

Numerical Inversion of Laplace Transforms: An Efficient Improvement to Dubner and Abate's Method

F. Durbin
- 01 Nov 1974 - 
TL;DR: An accurate method is presented for the numerical inversion of Laplace transform, which is a natural continuation to Dubner and Abate's method, and the error bound on the inverse f{t) becomes independent of t, instead of being exponential in t.

The oscillations of a fluid droplet immersed in another fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, a general dispersion equation is derived by which frequency and rate of damping of oscillations can be calculated for arbitrary values of droplet size, physical properties of the fluids, and interfacial viscosity and elasticity coefficients.

Viscous effects on perturbed spherical flows

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of describing free oscillations of a viscous liquid drop and of a bubble in a fluid is studied in detail, and it is shown that the oscillations are initially describable in terms of an irrotational approximation, and that the normal-mode results are recovered as t −* <».

The oscillations of a viscous liquid drop

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for the diffraction of an arbitrary two-dimensional incident pulse by a wedge of angle n, the ratio of the resultant velocity potential to the corresponding value of the incident pulse at the corner of the wedge at any instant is equal to 2x/ (2x n) n; and that for a threedimensional pulse diffraction by a cone of solid angle u>, the ratio at the vertex of the cone is equal tO 4ir/ (47T ) co).
