Movies of the breakup of viscous and viscoelastic drops in the high-speed airstream behind a shock wave in a shock tube have been reported by Joseph, Belanger & Beavers (1999). They performed a Rayleigh-Taylor stability analysis for the initial breakup of a drop of Newtonian liquid and found that the most unstable Rayleigh-Taylor wave fits nearly perfectly with waves measured on enhanced images of drops from the movies, but the effects of viscosity cannot be neglected. Here we construct a Rayleigh-Taylor stability analysis for an Oldroyd-B fluid using measured data for acceleration, density, viscosity and relaxation time lambda(1). The most unstable wave is a sensitive function of the retardation time lambda(2) which fits experiments when lambda(2)/lambda(1) = O(10(-3)). The growth rates for the most unstable wave are much larger than for the comparable viscous drop, which agrees with the surprising fact that the breakup times for viscoelastic drops are shorter. We construct an approximate analysis of Rayleigh-Taylor instability based on viscoelastic potential flow which gives rise to nearly the same dispersion relation as the unapproximated analysis.
