A sticky situation
نویسنده
چکیده
The whirling helical structure obtained when pouring honey onto toast may seem like an easy enough problem to solve at breakfast. Specifically, one would hope that a quick back-of-the-envelope scaling argument would help rationalize the observed behaviour and predict the coiling frequency. Not quite: multiple forces come into play, both in the part of the flow stretched by gravity and in the coil itself, which buckles and bends like a rope. In fact, the resulting abundance of regimes requires the careful numerical continuation method reported by Ribe (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 812, 2017, R2) to build a complete phase diagram of the problem and untangle this sticky situation.

Regulated Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (RNPT) Combined Topclosure in the Treatment of Skin Defect for Open Fracture in Lower Extremity
Currently, open fracture in lower extremity is a common trauma, which can easily form the skin defect. If the skin defect become an ulcer or ulcer like wound, the treatments will encounter a sticky situation that is hard to heal. Although skin flap grafting, tissue stretching and expansion can be available in this situation, however, they all have disadvantages, such as time consuming, costly, ...
متن کامل1 N ov 2 00 1 Kinetic Arrest Originating in Competition between Attractive Interaction and Packing Force
We discuss the situation where attractive and repulsive portions of the inter-particle potential both contribute significantly to glass formation. We introduce the square-well potential as prototypical model for this situation, and reject the Baxter as a useful model for comparison to experiment on glasses, based on our treatment within mode coupling theory. We present explicit result for vario...

متن کاملOn Financial Markets Incompleteness, Price Stickiness, and Welfare in a Monetary Union
In this paper, we measure the welfare costs/gains associated with financial market incompleteness in a monetary union. To do this, we build on a two-country model of a monetary union with sticky prices subject to asymmetric productivity shocks. For most plausible values of price stickiness, we show that asymmetric shocks under incomplete financial markets give rise to a lower volatility of nati...
