Suspensions of non-Brownian rods: droplet pinch-off, onset of heterogeneity and effective extensional viscosity

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: * decreases monotonically with the aspect ratio and is well captured by an empirical law. These results show that pinch-off is a sensitive probe of continuum breakdown in anisotropic suspensions and that, for rigid rods, the rod length controls the onset of heterogeneous thinning.
