The global properties of static perfect-fluid cylinders and their external Levi-Civita fields are studied both analytically and numerically. The existence and uniqueness of global solutions is demonstrated for a fairly general equation of…
In the main article [CQG 38 (2021) 055003], a new "canonical" form for the Lewis metrics of the Weyl class has been obtained, depending only on three parameters -- Komar mass and angular momentum per unit length, plus the angle deficit --…

The Lewis solutions describe the exterior gravitational field produced by infinitely long rotating cylinders, and are useful models for global gravitational effects. When the metric parameters are real (Weyl class), the exterior metrics of…
The mass per unit length of a cylindrical system can be found from its external metric as can its angular momentum. Can the fluxes of energy, momentum and angular momentum along the cylinder also be so found? We derive the metric of a beam…

Confined fluids display complex behavior due to layering and local packing. Here, we disentangle these effects by confining a hard-sphere fluid to the surface of a cylinder, such the circumference extends only over a few particle diameters.…
We study Levi-Civita metric for values of its sigma parameter in the range 0< sigma<infinity. We show that the value sigma=1/2 makes the axial and angular coordinates switch meaning. We present its geodesics and a physical source satisfying…
Slithering, crawling, slipping, gliding are various modes of limbless locomotion that have been mimicked for micro-manipulation of soft, slender and sessile objects. A lesser known mode is rolling which involves periodic, asymmetric and…
Approximate empirical models of thermal convection can allow us to identify the essential properties of the flow in simplified form, and to produce empirical estimates using only a few parameters. Such "low-dimensional" empirical models can…
Radial steady-state accretion of polytropic matter is investigated under cylindrical symmetry in the Levi-Civita background metric. The model can be considered as a cylindrical analog of Bondi accretion in strong gravitational field. As a…
The Levi-Civita (LC) solution is matched to a cylindrical shell of an anisotropic fluid. The fluid satisfies the energy conditions when the mass parameter $\sigma$ is in the range $0 \le \sigma \le 1$. The mass per unit length of the shell…
Using fully-resolved simulations, we investigate the torque experienced by a finite-length circular cylinder rotating steadily perpendicularly to its symmetry axis. The aspect ratio $\chi$, i.e. the ratio of the length of the cylinder to…
A submerged finite cylinder moving under its own weight along a soft incline lifts off and slides at a steady velocity while also spinning. Here, we experimentally quantify the steady spinning of the cylinder and show theoretically that it…

The torsion loading of a coupled cylinder, comprising distinct upper and lower cylindrical sections potentially made of different materials, is considered. The bottom of the cylinder is fixed in place, and induces the cylinder vibration.…
