We compare the axisymmetric LBM simulation against the slender jet (SJ) approximation model [T. Driessen and R. Jeurissen, IJCFD {\\bf 25}, 333 (2011)]. We compare the retraction dynamics of the tail-end of the liquid ligament from the LBM simulation, the SJ model, Flow3D simulations and a simple model based on the force balance (FB). We find good agreement between the theoretical prediction (FB), the SJ model, and the LBM simulations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-27T12:16:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.25.Hf" ], "keywords": [ "lattice boltzmann method", "viscous ligament", "contraction", "sj model", "liquid ligament" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1142/S012918311340010X", "journal": "International Journal of Modern Physics C", "year": 2013, "month": "Dec", "volume": 24, "number": 12, "pages": 1340010 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013IJMPC..2440010S" } } }
