Abstract
The breakup of viscoelastic liquid films are investigated experimentally and analytically. The breakup phenomena of viscoelastic liquid film are recorded by the time resolved high speed camera. Video images reveal the difference behavior of liquid bubble breakup for Newtonian and viscoelastic liquid. For the Newtonian liquid, cylindrical ligaments are stretched into droplets with large distributions of drop size. For the viscoelastic liquid, the pinch-off point is located on the liquid connections to the nozzle and finally the main part of the ligament no longer elongates. Furthermore, a dispersion relation based on the stability analysis is involved to predict the ligament length and drop mean size after breakup for liquid film. The calculated ligament length is validated by the measured drop mean size at higher air-to-liquid mass flow ratio.
