Fluid mechanics of free subduction on a sphere, 1: The axisymmetric case
Alexander Chamolly, Neil M. Ribe
To understand how spherical geometry influences the dynamics of gravity-driven subduction of oceanic lithosphere on Earth, we study a simple model of a thin and dense axisymmetric…
Torricelli's Curtain: Morphology of Horizontal Laminar Jets Under Gravity
O. Tramis, E. Merlin-Anglade, G. Paternoster +2
Viscous fluid exiting a long horizontal circular pipe develops a complex structure comprising a primary jet above and a smaller secondary jet below with a thin fluid curtain connec…
Liquid ropes: a geometrical model for thin viscous jets instabilities
P. -T. Brun, Basile Audoly, Neil M. Ribe +2
Thin viscous fluid threads falling onto a moving belt behave in a way reminiscent of a sewing machine, generating a rich variety of periodic stitch-like patterns including meanders…
A numerical investigation of the fluid mechanical sewing machine
Pierre-Thomas Brun, Neil M. Ribe, Basile Audoly
A thin thread of viscous fluid falling onto a moving belt generates a surprising variety of patterns depending on the belt speed, fall height, flow rate, and fluid properties. Here…
Multiple Coexisting States of a Falling Viscous Thread
Mehdi Habibi, Yasser Rahmani, Daniel Bonn +1
This article describes a fluid dynamics video submission for the 2009 Gallery of Fluid Motion, Division of Fluid Dynamics, American Physical Society.
The meandering instability of a viscous thread
Stephen W. Morris, Jonathan H. P. Dawes, Neil M. Ribe +1
A viscous thread falling from a nozzle onto a surface exhibits the famous rope-coiling effect, in which the thread buckles to form loops. If the surface is replaced by a belt movin…
