Abstract
Axisymmetric Newtonian viscous fibers are examined under isothermal conditions. An expansion based on lubrication scaling is used to derive systematically the one-dimensional equations for the fiber. At lowest order these are identical with those obtained by others, e.g., Matovich and Pearson. One-dimensional theory limitations on jet shape and inertial, gravitational, and surface tension effects are obtained from higher-order approximations. Similar approaches can be used to analyze fibers having complex rheological behaviors.
