Wide shear zones and the spot model: Implications from the split-bottom geometry
Erik Woldhuis, Brian P. Tighe, Wim van Saarloos
The spot model has been developed by Bazant and co-workers to describe quasistatic granular flows. It assumes that granular flow is caused by the opposing flow of so-called spots o…
An intrinsic route to melt fracture in polymer extrusion: a weakly nonlinear subcritical instability of viscoelastic Poiseuille flow
M. Meulenbroek, C. Storm, V. Bertola +3
As is well known, the extrusion rate of polymers from a cylindrical tube or slit (a ``die'') is in practice limited by the appearance of ``melt fracture'' instabilities which give…
"Barber pole turbulence" in large aspect ratio Taylor-Couette flow
A. Prigent, O. Dauchot
Investigations of counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flow (TCF) in the narrow gap limit are conducted in a very large aspect ratio apparatus. The phase diagram is presented and compar…
Subdiffusive fluctuations of "pulled" fronts with multiplicative noise
Andrea Rocco, Ute Ebert, Wim van Saarloos
We study the propagation of a ``pulled'' front with multiplicative noise that is created by a local perturbation of an unstable state. Unlike a front propagating into a metastable…
Propagation and Structure of Planar Streamer Fronts
Ute Ebert, Wim van Saarloos, Christiane Caroli
Streamers often constitute the first stage of dielectric breakdown in strong electric fields: a nonlinear ionization wave transforms a non-ionized medium into a weakly ionized none…
