Development and geometry of isotropic and directional shrinkage crack patterns
Kelly A. Shorlin, John R. de Bruyn, Malcolm Graham +1
We have studied shrinkage crack patterns which form when a thin layer of an alumina/water slurry dries. Both isotropic and directional drying were studied. The dynamics of the patt…
Benard-Marangoni Convection in Two Layered Liquids
Wayne A. Tokaruk, T. C. A. Molteno, Stephen W. Morris
We describe experiments on B{é}nard-Marangoni convection in horizontal layers of two immiscible liquids. Unlike previous experiments, which used gases as the upper fluid, we find a…
Electrically driven convection in a thin annular film undergoing circular Couette flow
Zahir A. Daya, V. B. Deyirmenjian, Stephen W. Morris
We investigate the linear stability of a thin, suspended, annular film of conducting fluid with a voltage difference applied between its inner and outer edges. For a sufficiently l…
The Dynamics of Granular Segregation Patterns in a Long Drum Mixer
Kiam Choo, Michael W. Baker, T. C. A. Molteno +1
We have studied the early time evolution of granular segregation patterns in a horizontal rotating cylinder partially filled with a sand/salt mixture. The growth of concentration f…
Annular electroconvection with shear
Zahir A. Daya, V. B. Deyirmenjian, Stephen W. Morris +1
We report experiments on convection driven by a radial electrical force in suspended annular smectic A liquid crystal films. In the absence of an externally imposed azimuthal shear…
Weakly Nonlinear Analysis of Electroconvection in a Suspended Fluid Film
V. B. Deyirmenjian, Zahir A. Daya, Stephen W. Morris
It has been experimentally observed that weakly conducting suspended films of smectic liquid crystals undergo electroconvection when subjected to a large enough potential differenc…
