Abstract
The recent analysis by Acrivos & Lo (1978) concerning the breakup of a long slender droplet in an axisymmetric straining motion is extended to the case of a two-dimensional hyperbolic flow. It is found that, although the cross-section of the droplet becomes significantly non-circular, the theoretical criterion for breakup is effectively the same as in the axisymmetric case. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the available experimental results.
