Dynamics of bead formation, filament thinning and breakup in weakly viscoelastic jets

The spatiotemporal evolution of a viscoelastic jet depends on the relative magnitude of capillary, viscous, inertial and elastic stresses. The interplay of capillary and elastic stresses leads to the formation of very thin and stable filaments between drops, or to 'beads-on-a-string' struc...
