Research paper thumbnail of Flow focusing at the interface of two immiscible liquids

By positioning a capillary near the interface, a thin stream of the lower liquid becomes entrained, as the upper fluid is being pumped out of the vessel that contains it. The phenomenon is observed at a critical position of the capillary nozzle, relative to the interface, and above a critical flow rate. Two immiscible Newtonian liquids were used, water and mineral oil. Both flow focusing and columnary rise phenomena are investigated.

The study focuses on the natural developing Rayleigh instability, hence without an imposed perturbation. We also point out the influence of viscosity on the main drop diameter, resulted after jet breakup, and on the breakup length itself. Modifications brought by a decrease of the capillary nozzle are also emphasized for a particular case.
