Model of formation of liquid droplets in shearing regime.
coefficient C S depends on the contact angle and the shape of the injection port. In this model, C S is
assumed to be constant. We assume for C D, the drag coefficient of a hard sphere at a low Reynolds

The effective drag interfacial A D grows with the droplet. Assuming that the droplet is a sphere, the
effective drag surface at the detachment moment is
