Reduced model for capillary breakup with thermal gradients: Predictions and computational validation
It was recently demonstrated that feeding a silicon-in-silica coaxial fiber into a flame—imparting a steep silica viscosity gradient—results in the formation of silicon spheres whose size is controlled by the feed speed [Gumennik et al., “Silicon-in-silica spheres via axial thermal gradient in-fiber...
