Role of Transient Dynamics in Dripping-Jetting Transition in Newtonian FluidsDripping dynamics has been well studied over the past century and forms a classic example of chaotic system in physics. With an increase in the inlet flow rate, periodic droplet formation from a faucet becomes chaotic in terms of the droplet size and the length of the liquid column at the time of pinch-off. With a further increase in the flow rate, dripping regime transitions into jetting regime where the liquid column length is much longer than that observed in the dripping case. In general, d…
