Is there any reference for the taylor deformation D=(L-B)/(L+B)=(?)Ca for the 2 dimensional space with shear flow.

Thanks

In literature, it seems that only some 3D formulae are there. Anyway, you may find some helpful information in the following two review papers:

1. Rallison, J. M. 1984 The deformation of small viscous drops and bubbles in shear flows. Annu.Rev. Fluid Mech. 16, 45–66.

2. Stone, H. A. 1994 Dynamics of drop deformation and breakup in viscous fluids. Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech. 26, 65–102.

Good luck

That's what I wondered, so far I only found 3D results. There are a couple of 2D simulations, but no theoretical result, partly due to physical experiments are mostly 3D. But I think it is better to have 2D theoretical results to compare numerical code test because most cases, people start coding 2D and then extend it to 3D.

Thanks for the references.

I'm also doing 2D drop deformation to prepare for 3D simulation. If you find any theoretical results for 2-D drop, please let me know, because I also want to compare my results with the analytical one. Thanks in advance.

Hi Pete,

Actually, I am looking for these two references. I would really appreciate if you can send them to me.
