CONTACT:Raymond E. Goldstein
DESCRIPTION: Fragmentation phenomena will be reviewed with a particular\ne
 mphasis on processes occurring with liquids\, those giving rise to\ndrops 
 --in the broad sense\, the process of atomization--. Various\nobservations
  converge to propose a unifying scenario describing the\noverall transitio
 n between a compact macroscopic liquid volume and its\nsubsequent dispersi
 on into stable drops. In liquids\, primary\ninstabilities always give birt
 h to more or less corrugated ligaments\nwhose breakup induce the shape of 
 the drop size distribution in the\nresulting spray. Examples include the f
 ragmentation of jets and liquid\nsheets\, the formation of spume by the wi
 nd blowing over a liquid\nsurface\, bursting phenomena\, impacts and raind
 rops.
