Singular thin viscous sheet.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The evolution of a thin viscous layer is usually smooth. Here we conduct an experiment where the layer adopts a singular shape. Using the analogy between the flow of a viscous liquid and the deformation of an elastic solid, the theoretical analysis predicts a conical shape for the sheet and is in quantitative agreement with the experiment.

Slip flow of an optically thin radiating non-Gray couple stress fluid past a stretching sheet
This paper addresses the combined effects of couple stresses, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and slip condition on a free convective flow of a couple stress fluid induced by a vertical stretching sheet. The Cogley- Vincenti-Gilles equilibrium model is employed to include the effects of thermal radiation in the study. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a system o...
متن کاملViscous entrainment from a nozzle: singular liquid spouts.
We analyze a long-wavelength model of viscous entrainment from a nozzle and show that, when appropriate large-scale boundary conditions are imposed, the entrainment transition can become continuous. As the entrainment threshold is approached from above, the entrained steady-state spout becomes vanishingly thin compared to the nozzle radius and takes the form of a thin tendril emerging from a ba...
متن کاملThin film formation during splashing of viscous liquids.
After impact onto a smooth dry surface, a drop of viscous liquid initially spreads in the form of a thick lamella. If the drop splashes, it first emits a thin fluid sheet that can ultimately break up into droplets causing the splash. Ambient gas is crucial for creating this thin sheet. The time for sheet ejection, t{ejt}, depends on impact velocity, liquid viscosity, gas pressure, and molecular...

*Correspondence: [email protected] School of Science, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian, 116028, P.R. China Abstract The paper is devoted to studying a viscous thin-film equation with a singular diffusion term and the periodic boundary conditions in multidimensional space, which has a lot of applications in fluids theory such as draining of foams and the movement of contact lenses. In order to...
متن کاملThree-dimensional localization of thin-walled sheet metal parts for robotic assembly
This article presents a technical demonstration of a system for determining the threedimensional spatial location of complexly shaped, thin-walled sheet metal parts grasped by robots during assembly. For successful part assembly, the precise location of grasped parts (essential for successful mating of parts) must be achieved. A localization system is implemented to determine the accurate posit...
