TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the linear stability of the interface formed by a viscoelastic liquid and a viscous gas and found that on increasing heat transfer, the range of stable wave number decreases while the maximum value of growth rate increases.

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of transfer of heat and mass on the capillary instability between a viscoelastic liquid and a viscous gas. The viscoelastic liquid obeys the Oldroyd B-model. These two fluid layers considered in coaxial cylinders and viscoelastic–viscous potential flow theory are used for investigation. To study the stability of the interface, the normal-mode procedure is employed and a cubic dispersion equation in terms of growth rate has been obtained. We observe that the viscoelastic liquid–viscous gas interface is more unstable than the viscous liquid–viscous gas interface. Additionally, we show that the unstable axisymmetric wave modes are stabilized by allowing heat transfer at the interface.

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of stratified gas-liquid flow in a horizontal rectangular channel using viscous potential flow was analyzed and a dispersion relation was established, in which the effects of surface tension and viscosity on the normal stress are not neglected but the effect of shear stresses is.
Abstract: We study the stability of stratified gas–liquid flow in a horizontal rectangular channel using viscous potential flow. The analysis leads to an explicit dispersion relation in which the effects of surface tension and viscosity on the normal stress are not neglected but the effect of shear stresses is. Formulas for the growth rates, wave speeds and neutral stability curve are given in general and applied to experiments in air–water flows. The effects of surface tension are always important and determine the stability limits for the cases in which the volume fraction of gas is not too small. The stability criterion for viscous potential flow is expressed by a critical value of the relative velocity. The maximum critical value is when the viscosity ratio is equal to the density ratio; surprisingly the neutral curve for this viscous fluid is the same as the neutral curve for inviscid fluids. The maximum critical value of the velocity of all viscous fluids is given by that for inviscid fluid. For air at 20°C and liquids with density ρ = 1 g cm−3 the liquid viscosity for the critical conditions is 15 cP: the critical velocity for liquids with viscosities larger than 15 cP is only slightly smaller but the critical velocity for liquids with viscosities smaller than 15 cP, like water, can be much lower. The viscosity of the liquid has a strong effect on the growth rate. The viscous potential flow theory fits the experimental data for air and water well when the gas fraction is greater than about 70%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth rate of a disturbance on a viscoelastic jet is derived by paralleling the classical development for the Newtonian liquid, and it is shown that the model is less stable than a Newtonian jet under identical dynamic conditions.
