| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A falling droplet breaks up into several droplets, after the droplet spontaneously deforms into a vortex ring as it falls in a viscous fluid. Although this phenomenon has been known for more than 100 years, its dynamics have not been well understood because it is an unsteady system in which the droplet shape and settling velocity change with time. We, therefore, proposed to understand its dynamics by studying of the vortex ring instability that causes the droplet to break up.
During the period of this project, we have identified the physical quantities to determine a number of a breakup of a droplet. In addition, we have proposed a new phenomenological model to include the effect of the vortex ring instability, and we have considered the dynamics by comparing our experimental results with those obtained from the model.
