The shrinking instability of toroidal liquid droplets in the Stokes flow regime

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Bowick | First 5 Authors: Zhenwei Yao, Mark Bowick, , , | Summary: We analyze the stability and dynamics of toroidal liquid droplets. In addition to the Rayleigh instabilities akin to those of a cylindrical droplet there is a shrinking instability that is unique to the topology of the torus and dominates […]
