Abstract
Drop deformation in a cylindrical contraction geometry, characterized here by the formation of a thread of drop fluid in the contraction, is predicted using a Volume-of-Fluid numerical technique. The predicted drop shape is found to closely follow the observed deformation. A capillary instability in the developing drop thread in the contraction was predicted, in agreement with experimental observation.
