Abstract
We have carried out a study of the hydrodynamics of disconnected quark regions during the final stages of the cosmological quark-hadron tran sition. A set of relativistic Lagrangian equations is presented for fo llowing the evaporation of a single quark drop and results from the nu merical solution of this are discussed. A self-similar solution is sho wn to exist and the formation of baryon number density inhomogeneities at the end of the drop contraction is discussed.
