    Notes: Abstract The inertia-dominated dynamics of a single gas or vapor bubble in an incompressible or nearly incompressible liquid has been the subject of intense investigation for many years. Studies prior to 1976 were thoroughly reviewed by Plesset & Prosperetti (1977) in Volume 9 of this series. Our review fills the gap between Plesset & Prosperetti's review and the present. We focus on new understandings of bubble dynamics through a nonlinear dynamical systems approach.

    Notes: In this paper, energy transfer mechanism due to resonant interactions of bubble shape and volume deformation modes is studied. In the process, a number of recent investigations that have focused on specific sets of initial conditions are generalized. Using phase-space analysis and a reduction of the mode dynamics equations to an integrable Hamiltonian, two types of resonant interactions are considered. The first is the so-called one–two resonance, when the natural frequency of the breathing mode is twice (or approximately twice) that of a shape mode. In this case, it is found that there is nearly always a continuous, periodic exchange of energy between the shape and volume modes. However, there exists a particular class of initial conditions, that was the subject of most earlier studies, for which the energy transfer is one way, from the shape mode to the volume mode. The second type of resonant interaction occurs when the natural frequency of the breathing mode is approximately equal to that of the shape mode. Here, it is found that periodic energy exchange can take place if equilibrium shape of the bubble is nonspherical due, for example, to a surface pressure distribution or a steady extensional flow. The analysis of the one–two resonance case is used to explain the stability of an oscillating spherical bubble to small perturbations of shape. It is found that instability of small volume oscillations can lead to large shape oscillation.

    Notes: The effect of dilute, insoluble surfactant on the deformation and breakup of a viscous drop is examined. Two cases are considered: the deformation and stretching of a drop in a uniaxial extensional flow and the surface-tension-driven motion of an elongated drop in a quiescent fluid. Aside from rescaling the mean capillary force through an average decrease in the interfacial tension, surfactants alter the motion of a viscous drop through gradients in interfacial tension. The effects of surfactants are found to be most pronounced for small viscosity ratios, where Marangoni stresses substantially retard the interfacial velocity and cause the drop to behave as though it were more viscous. Surfactants are found to facilitate the formation of pointed ends during drop stretching, and this may explain the observation of tip streaming in experiments with viscoelastic drops. Surfactant gradients also allow drops to be elongated to a larger degree without producing end pinching.

    Notes: Boundary-integral calculations are used to investigate the evolution of the shape of an initially nonspherical drop that translates at zero Reynolds through a quiescent, unbounded fluid. For finite capillary numbers, it is shown that the drop reverts to a sphere, provided the initial deformation is not too large. However, drops that are initially deformed to a greater extent are shown to deform continuously, forming an elongated shape with a tail when initially prolate, and a flattened shape with a cavity at the rear when initially oblate. The critical degree of deformation decreases as the capillary number increases and appears to be consistent with the results of Kojima et al. [Phys. Fluids 27, 19 (1984)], who showed that the spherical drop is unstable to infinitesimal disturbances in the limit Ca=∞.

    Notes: Shear flows disrupt molecular orientation in liquid-crystalline polymers (LCPs) through director tumbling, and this causes difficulty in controlling the polymer structure and properties in injection molding and extrusion. In this paper we simulate LCP channel flows using the Doi theory. A Bingham closure is used to preserve director tumbling and wagging. The objective is to examine how contractions and expansions in a channel affect LCP orientation and to explore the possibility of using the channel geometry as a means of manipulating LCP order. A finite-element method is used to solve the coupled equations for fluid flow and polymer configuration. Results show that a contraction aligns the director with the streamline and improves molecular order, while an expansion drives the director away from the flow direction and reduces molecular order. If the expansion is strong enough, an instability develops downstream as disturbances in the flow and polymer configuration reinforce each other through the polymer stress. This instability generates a wave that spans roughly the central half of the channel and propagates downstream at the centerline velocity. For abrupt contractions or expansions, disclinations of ±1/2 strength arise in the corner vortex. The numerical results agree qualitatively with experiments when comparisons can be made. In particular, the wavy pattern following a sudden expansion is remarkably similar to previous experimental observations. The simulations suggest that using contractions and expansions may be a feasible strategy for controlling LCP order and morphology in processing. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The evolution of the shape of an initially nonspherical drop translating at low Reynolds number through a quiescent fluid is investigated experimentally. It is found that the drop reverts to a spherical shape when the degree of initial deformation is small enough. However, drops that are highly deformed initially are shown to deform continuously. Specifically, a prolate drop breaks up into multiple droplets as it rises, while an oblate drop deforms into a double-emulsion drop as it translates. The experimental results agree well with results obtained earlier from numerical simulations [Phys. Fluids A 1, 1309 (1989)].

    Notes: This paper studies the translational instability of an oscillating bubble. It is shown that when a spherical bubble undergoing volume oscillation becomes unstable, giving rise to shape oscillations of two neighboring modes, the translational mode is intimately coupled with the two shape modes and this results in translational instability of the bubble. The main contribution is twofold. First, the integral relations for motions of bubbles in an infinite perfect liquid are not relied on, hence result is applicable to liquids with weak viscous effect. Second, the method of deriving the amplitude equations, which is similar to that of normal form calculations for ordinary differential equations, has not been applied to partial differential equations before. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The hydrodynamic force on a spherical drop that undergoes a translational acceleration in an unbounded fluid at low Reynolds number is considered. The force involves a memory-integral contribution that is not of the familiar form for a solid sphere. This result, in conjunction with the prior results of Lawrence and Weinbaum [J. Fluid Mech. 171, 208 (1986)] for a nonspherical particle, suggest that the form of the force law for a solid sphere is a very special case that is invalidated if there are any departures in either rigidity or shape from a solid sphere. In this Brief Communication the force on a spherical drop is evaluated for a number of limiting cases, after transforming the result from the Fourier-transform domain in which it is derived to the time domain.
