Simulating Plateau-Rayleigh instability and liquid reentrainment in a flow field using a VOF method

Plateau-Rayleigh Instability (PRI) is the well known phenomena of the breakup of a liquid column or cylinder. Such a process is integral to the operation of a range of natural and anthropogenic systems, such as gas-liquid and liquid-liquid separators, fuel cells, the accumulation of dewdrops on spid...
