Rayleigh-Plateau instability causes the crown splash
Robert D. Deegan, Philippe Brunet, Jens Eggers
The impact of a drop onto a liquid layer and the subsequent splash has important implications for diverse physical processes such as air-sea gas transfer, cooling, and combustion.…
Persistent holes in a fluid
Florian S. Merkt, Robert D. Deegan, Daniel I. Goldman +2
We observe stable holes in a vertically oscillated 0.5 cm deep aqueous suspension of cornstarch for accelerations a above 10g. Holes appear only if a finite perturbation is applied…
Cracks in rubber under tension exceed the shear wave speed
Paul J. Petersan, Robert D. Deegan, M. Marder +1
The shear wave speed is an upper limit for the speed of cracks loaded in tension in linear elastic solids. We have discovered that in a non-linear material, cracks in tension (Mode…
