System and method of obtaining entrained cylindrical fluid flow

Abstract

A method and system for entraining fluids is provided. The method and system may be used to create filaments. As one example, a filament may be produced by entraining a first fluid within a second fluid by flowing a third fluid, the flowing third fluid at least partly constraining the second fluid in at least one dimension. As another example, a filament may be produced by entraining a first fluid within a second fluid based on a model of a dynamic response of the first and second fluids as functions of densities of the first and second fluids, viscosities of the first and second fluids, Reynolds numbers of the first and second fluids, and Weber numbers of the first and second fluids.
