What is Physics of Aerobreakup in Viscous Liquids about?
This document summarizes research on the aerobreakup of viscous liquids. It extends previous work to consider liquids of any viscosity. Key findings include: 1) Viscosity retards breakup and increases the critical Weber number required for breakup. 2) There are two critical breakup mechanisms - Rayleigh-Taylor piercing at first criticality and shear-induced entrainment at second criticality. Viscosity impacts both but does not prevent them from occurring. 3) Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities play a domin
