Abstract: Two-dimensional cusped interfaces are line singularities of curvature. We create such cusps by rotating a cylinder half immersed in liquid. A liquid film is dragged out of the reservoir on one side and is plunged in at the other, where it forms a cusp at finite speeds, if the conditions are right. Both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids form cusps, but the transition from a rounded interface to a cusp is gradual in Newtonian liquids and sudden in non-Newtonian liquids. We present an asymptotic analysis near the cusp tip for the case of zero surface tension, and we make some remarks about the effects of a small surface tension. We also present the results of numerical simulations showing the development of a cusp. In those simulations, the fluid is filling an initially rectangular domain with a free surface on top. The fluid enters from both sides and is sucked out through a hole in the bottom.

Wetting and Spreading
TL;DR: In this article, the surface forces that lead to wetting are considered, and the equilibrium surface coverage of a substrate in contact with a drop of liquid is examined, while the hydrodynamics of both wetting and dewetting is influenced by the presence of the three-phase contact line separating "wet" regions from those that are either dry or covered by a microscopic film.
Nonlinear dynamics and breakup of free-surface flows
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical development of this field alongside recent experimental work, and outline unsolved problems, as well as a host of technological applications, ranging from printing to mixing and fiber spinning.
Continuum Deductions from Molecular Hydrodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the boundary conditions to be applied to the Navier-Stokes equations are not fully established or are unsatisfactory, as in the presence of moving contact lines or at the edge of a porous boundary.

Air-Entrainment Mechanisms in Plunging Jets and Breaking Waves
Kenneth T. Kiger,James H. Duncan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address recent research on how air is entrained during the impact of a liquid stream on a pool of the same material in a variety of scenarios, including the prototype flows of impacting stationary laminar and turbulent steady jets, the transient impact of isolated masses of liquid, and jets with organized disturbances, and translating steady and transient jets.

Wetting: statics and dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an attempt towards a unified picture with special emphasis on certain features of "dry spreading": (a) the final state of a spreading droplet need not be a monomolecular film; (b) the spreading drop is surrounded by a precursor film, where most of the available free energy is spent; and (c) polymer melts may slip on the solid and belong to a separate dynamical class, conceptually related to the spreading of superfluids.

The formation of emulsions in definable fields of flow
TL;DR: The physical and chemical condition of emulsions of two fluids which do not mix has been the subject of many studies, but very little seems to be known about the mechanics of the stirring processes which are used in making them.

Hydrodynamic Model of Steady Movement of a Solid / Liquid / Fluid Contact Line
Chun Huh,L. E. Scriven +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a flat fluid interface moving steadily over a flat solid is modeled with the creeping flow approximation, which turns out to be self-consistent, and the role of long-range forces are explored with the aid of the lubrication flow approximation.

A numerical study of the deformation and burst of a viscous drop in an extensional flow
J.M. Rallison,Andreas Acrivos +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the deformation and conditions for breakup of a liquid drop of viscosity λμ freely suspended in another liquid of viscous material with which it is immiscible and which is being sheared, and showed that, for a given Δ, a steady shape is attained only if the dimensionless group Ω ≡4πGμa/γ lies below a critical value Ωc(Δ).
