The dripping problem of a viscoplastic (yield-stress) liquid running slowly out of a narrow vertical tube is considered. The volume of the drops which break away is determined. A Lagrangian coordinate system is used to analyze the extension of the thread as it sags under its own weight, neglecting inertia and capillarity. The biviscosity model has been used to characterize viscoplastic fluids; the Newtonian and Bingham models can be recovered as limiting cases. The Bingham limit is of special interest.
