In a companion paper [Pitrou, Phys. Rev. E 97, 043115 (2018)], a formalism allowing to describe viscous fibers as one-dimensional objects was developed. We apply it to the special case of a viscous fluid torus. This allows to highlight the…
We present a numerical model for the dynamics of thin viscous threads based on a discrete, Lagrangian formulation of the smooth equations. The model makes use of a condensed set of coordinates, called the centerline/spin representation: the…
Thin viscous fluid threads falling onto a moving belt behave in a way reminiscent of a sewing machine, generating a rich variety of periodic stitch-like patterns including meanders, W-patterns, alternating loops, and translated coiling.…
The spinning of slender viscous jets can be described asymptotically by one-dimensional models that consist of systems of partial and ordinary differential equations. Whereas the well-established string models possess only solutions for…

Highly stretched capillary jets produced by gravity are central to drop generation, micro-thread formation, and extensional-rheometry concepts. For Newtonian fluids, the transition from steady jetting to self-excited oscillations in a…

A new slender-body theory for viscous flow, based on the concepts of dimensional reduction and hyperviscous regularization, is presented. The geometry of flat, elongated, or point-like rigid bodies immersed in a viscous fluid is…
Breakup of a liquid jet into a chain of droplets is common in nature and industry. Previous researchers developed profound mathematic and fluid dynamic models to address this breakup phenomenon starting from tiny perturbations. However, the…
Liquid jets issued from a non-circular orifice exhibit oscillation owing to the surface tension. When the orifice has an $n$-fold rotational symmetry, a material cross section of the jet interchanges two symmetric shapes alternately. This…
In 1994, Eggers and Dupont suggested the slender jet model, a one-dimensional model that describes the motion of a thin axisymmetric column of viscous, incompressible fluid with a free surface. In their model, the momentum equation was…
In [Lacave, IHP, ana, to appear (2008)] the author considered the two dimensional Euler equations in the exterior of a thin obstacle shrinking to a curve and determined the limit velocity. In the present work, we consider the same problem…
We perform simulations of an impulsively-started, axisymmetric viscoelastic jet exiting a nozzle and entering a stagnant gas phase using the open-source code Basilisk. This code allows for efficient computations through an…
Natural slender structures, such as plant leaves, petals, and tendrils, often exhibit complex three-dimensional (3D) morphologies-including twisting, helical coiling, and saddle-bending-driven by differential growth. The resulting internal…
Viscous fluid exiting a long horizontal circular pipe develops a complex structure comprising a primary jet above and a smaller secondary jet below with a thin fluid curtain connecting them. We present here a combined experimental,…
