Abstract: This study is focused on mathematical modeling of drying unstable polymer electrospun jet. The developed model includes nonuniformity of polymer concentration over the jet cross-section due to the evaporation. The parametric study for influence of mass transfer coefficient on jet motion and fiber deposition is performed.

Keywords: electrohydrodynamics, electrospinning, viscoelastic fluid, evaporation, diffusion.
