Abstract

In the process to disperse a viscous oil in water in a stirred tank, filaments are produced before droplets appear. The impeller blades drive the oil and pushed it radially into the liquid bulk. The process is followed by an elongation of the filaments due to the fluid forces that make them thinner. This set of photographs was obtained with a high speed camera. Note that filaments are highly unstable and deformed, which causes the breakage to occur unexpectedly. The broken filaments recoil and finally droplets are produced.
