A pendulum in a flowing soap film
We consider the dynamics of a pendulum made of a rigid ring attached to an elastic filament immersed in a flowing soap film. The system shows an oscillatory instability whose onset is a function of the flow speed, length of the supporting string, the ring mass, and ring radius. We characterize this system and show that there are different regimes where the frequency is dependent or independent ...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Soap Film Dual Problems
This work was partially supported by The Geometry Center of the University of Minnesota and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The soap film problem is to minimize area, and its dual is to maximize the flux of a divergenceless bounded vector field. This paper discretizes the continuous problem and solves it numerically. This gives upper and lower bounds on the area of the globally mini...
متن کاملSoft nanofluidic transport in a soap film.
We investigate experimentally the electrokinetic properties of soft nanofluidic channels that consist in soap films with nanometric thickness, covered with charged surfactants. Both the electric and fluidic responses of the system are measured under an applied voltage drop along the film. The electric field is shown to induce an electro-osmotic hydrodynamic flow in the film. However, in contras...
متن کاملLaser-induced vibration of a thin soap film.
We report on the vibration of a thin soap film based on the optical radiation pressure force. The modulated low power laser induces a counter gravity flow in a vertical free-standing draining film. The thickness of the soap film is then higher in the upper region than in the lower region of the film. Moreover, the lifetime of the film is dramatically increased by a factor of 2. Since the laser ...
