Topological transitions and singularities in fluids: Life of a Drop
Manne Siegbahn Memorial Lecture, Oct. 18, 2007
During its brief existence, drop goes through many stages.
Shape changes often accompanied by dynamic singularities*.*Dynamic singularities: infinitesimally small, very short time
Test-bed for understanding broad class of phenomena.

Topology changes - real transition
Neck radius 0 (curvature )
Pressure Cannot do simulation to get to other side of snapoff
?
Is there understanding for these transitions like that for thermodynamic phase transitions?
How do drops fall, break apart?
