Strong dynamical effects during stick-slip adhesive peeling

Marie-Julie Dalbe, Stéphane Santucci, Pierre-Philippe Cortet +1

We consider the classical problem of the stick-slip dynamics observed when peeling a roller adhesive tape at a constant velocity. From fast imaging recordings, we extract the depen…

Structural anisotropy of directionally dried colloids

François Boulogne, Ludovic Pauchard, Frédérique Giorgiutti-Dauphiné +6

Aqueous colloidal dispersions of silica particles become anisotropic when they are dried through evaporation. This anisotropy is generated by a uniaxial strain of the liquid disper…

Transverse and lateral confinement effects on the oscillations of a free cylinder in a viscous flow

Luciano Gianorio, Maria Veronica D'Angelo, Mario Cachile +2

The different types of instabilities of free cylinders (diameter , length ) have been studied in a viscous flow (velocity ) between parallel vertical walls of horizontal w…

Suppression of the Rayleigh-Plateau instability on a vertical fibre coated with wormlike micelle solutions

François Boulogne, Marc-Antoine Fardin, Sandra Lerouge +2

We report on the Rayleigh-Plateau instability in films of giant micelles solutions coating a vertical fibre. We observe that the dynamics of thin films coating the fibre could be v…

Annular cracks in thin films of nanoparticle suspensions drying on a fiber

François Boulogne, Ludovic Pauchard, Frédérique Giorgiutti-Dauphiné

We report an experimental study of the crack pattern formed during the drying of a colloidal suspension. A horizontal fiber, which provides a one dimensional, boundary-free substra…

Ship wakes: Kelvin or Mach angle?

Marc Rabaud, Frédéric Moisy

From the analysis of a set of airborne images of ship wakes, we show that the wake angles decrease as at large velocities, in a way similar to the Mach cone for supersonic…
