Abstract
The capillary thinning of a polymeric filament is analysed
experimentally as well as by means of numerical simulation. The
experimental procedure is as follows. Initially a liquid sample is
kept between two cylindrical plates. Then the bottom plate is
lowered under gravity to yield a given strain. Thereby the sample
is stretched into a filament. Provided the filament is
sufficiently long, surface tension will induce a thinningof the
filament until breakage in finite time.This experiment was
originally deviced by Bazilevsky et al. (1990). For the numerical
simulations we employ a Lagrangian finite element technique. This
method has previously been used in simulations of the transient
filament stretching rheometer (Kolte et al., 1997).
