Radical scaling: beyond our feet and fingers
Marc-Antoine Fardin, Mathieu Hautefeuille, Vivek Sharma
Scaling laws arise and are eulogized across disciplines from natural to social sciences for providing pithy, quantitative, `scale-free', and `universal' power law relationships bet…
The size of the Sun
Marc-Antoine Fardin, Mathieu Hautefeuille
Why does the Sun have a radius around 696000~km? We will see in this article that dimensional arguments can be used to understand the size of the Sun and of a few other things alon…
Potential "ways of thinking" about the shear-banding phenomenon
M. A. Fardin, T. J. Ober, C. Gay +3
Shear-banding is a curious but ubiquitous phenomenon occurring in soft matter. The phenomenological similarities between the shear-banding transition and phase transitions has push…
Taylor-like vortices in the shear-banding flow of giant micelles
M. A. Fardin, B. Lasne, O. Cardoso +4
Using flow visualizations in Couette geometry, we demonstrate the existence of Taylor-like vortices in the shear-banding flow of a giant micelles system. We show that vortices stac…
Interface dynamics in shear-banding flow of giant micelles
S. Lerouge, M. A. Fardin, M. Argentina +2
We report on a non trivial dynamics of the interface between shear bands following a start-up of flow in a semi-dilute wormlike micellar system investigated using a combination of…
