Present model predicts the outcome of breakup of a fluid particle (bubble or drop), which is initially deformed and breaks into two daughter particles. An initial deformation of the particle (e.g. due to turbulence) is assumed in a shape of dumbbell with two spherical parts connected with cylindrical neck. The evolution of sizes of particle sub-parts is calculated using Rayleigh-Plesset equations, which consider the inertia of surrounding liquid, capillary action and viscous effects. The redistribution of internal fluid in the particle is calculated estimating pressure drop in the connecting neck. The model computes the sizes of daughter particles after the breakup. Assuming the random initial conditions (various initial shapes and initial velocities of deformation), the size distribution of daughter particles is obtained. These size distributions are qualitatively compared with available experimental data and reasonable agreement is observed.
