Abstract
Experimental studies of drop breakup in shear flow have focused on the determination of critical conditions for breakup under Stokes flow conditions, and the distribution of drop fragments resulting from breakup in a super-critical impulsively-started flow. Thus, numerical simulations were developed for predicting breakup criteria in shear flow under Stokes flow conditions. This paper describes a numerical and experimental study of drop breakup in an impulsively started shear flow.
