| Summary: | The flow inside and outside of undeformed fluid drops suspended in an immiscible liquid in shear and hyperbolic flow was studied under conditions where the transmission of shear stresses across the interface was unimpeded. Excellent agreement with a previously developed theory was found. The effect of surface-active substances was to inhibit the internal circulation by forming an elastic interface capable of resisting shear stresses. The deformation, orientation and burst of drops in the two flow fields were investigated for a wide variety of systems. The deformation and orientation were in excellent quantitative accord with the theories due to Taylor and Cerf. |
