We observe inertial behaviour for the coalescence (this GIF)/ stretching separation (GIF above) transition, with the latter outcome occurring only above a certain aspect ratio. Using this value as a criterion, we propose a simple but robust model to predict the transition.

I'd prefer not to have lockdown for much longer, but it's been nice to have more time/excuse to enjoy #Yorkshire.

Remote teaching of differential equations is requiring a bit of creativity. Here is my home made (literally) visualiser, consisting of a cantilevered phone and desk lamp. Simple but works surprisingly well; allows me to explain the maths like I usually do on the whiteboard.

And here's the side view, where you can see the jet is actually on top of the droplet! Learn more here link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/Phy… or #openaccess on arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2002.10407
