Shaqfeh and Koch have shown that the flow through a dilute disordered fixed bed of fibers produces large polymer conformation change beyond a certain critical flow rate [J. Fluid Mech. 244, 17 (1992)]. We now examine the effect of this flow on the shape and breakup of viscous drops. Because the flow through a dilute fixed bed is equivalent to a certain anisotropic Gaussian flow field, we follow our previous paper and reproduce a model of the flow through a spectral expansion where the wave number vectors are chosen from statistical distributions which ensure that the desired velocity field will be realized [Phys. Fluids 9, 1222 (1997)]. We examine the dynamics of model drop shapes, averaged over the Gaussian statistics of the flow field, by synthesizing a large number of flow realizations. The drop surface is modeled using the first, second, and third order small deformation theories which can accurately predict critical conditions in classical strong flows. While the first order model yields a bounded av...
