Encapsulation of Droplets Using Cusp Formation behind a Drop Rising in a Non-Newtonian Fluid

The rising of a Newtonian oil drop in a non-Newtonian viscous solution is studied experimentally. In this case, the shape of the ascending drop is strongly affected by the viscoelastic and shear-thinning properties of the surrounding liquid. We found that the so-called velocity discontinuity phenome...
