We build a general formalism to describe thin viscous jets as one-dimensional objects with an internal structure. We present in full generality the steps needed to describe the viscous jets around their central line, and we argue that the…

Attention has been paid to the similarity and duality between the Gregory-Laflamme instability of black strings and the Rayleigh-Plateau instability of extended fluids. In this paper, we derive a set of simple (1+1)-dimensional equations…

This fluid dynamics video presents experiments and simulations of gravity-driven particulate jets in viscous fluids at low Reynolds number. An initially straight jet is shown to develop varicose modulations of its diameter as it sediments…

We study the collapse of an axisymmetric liquid filament both analytically and by means of a numerical model. The liquid filament, also known as ligament, may either collapse stably into a single droplet or break up into multiple droplets.…

A slender-thread model is derived to explore the Rayleigh-Plateau instability of a filament of elasto-viscoplastic fluid. Without elasticity, a finite yield stress suppresses any linear instability for a filament of constant radius.…

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…

When a viscous fluid, like oil or syrup, streams from a small orifice and falls freely under gravity, it forms a long slender thread, which can be maintained in a stable, stationary state with lengths up to several meters. We shall discuss…

Viscous depletion of vorticity is an essential and well known property of turbulent flows, balancing, in the mean, the net vorticity production associated with the vortex stretching mechanism. In this letter we however demonstrate that…

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…

We theoretically study the Plateau-Rayleigh instability of a thin viscous film covering a fiber consisting of a rigid cylindrical core coated with a thin compressible elastic layer. We develop a soft-lubrication model, combining the…

The Plateau-Rayleigh instability shows that a cylindrical fluid flow can be destabilized by surface tension. Similarly, capillary forces can make an elastic cylinder unstable when the elastocapillary length is comparable to the cylinder's…

We consider the viscous motion of a thin, axisymmetric column of fluid with a free surface. A one-dimensional equation of motion for the velocity and the radius is derived from the Navier-Stokes equation. We compare with recent experiments…

The breakup of a fluid jet into droplets has long fascinated natural scientists, with early research dating back to the 19th century. Infinitesimal perturbations to a jet grow because of surface tension, which eventually leads to breakup of…

Transport of viscous fluid through porous media is a direct consequence of the pore structure. Here we investigate transport through a specific class of two-dimensional porous geometries, namely those formed by fluid-mechanical erosion. We…

Linear stability of solid body rotating flows with axisymmetric density variations is addressed analytically. Considering inviscid disturbances, a non trivial dispersion relation is obtained and it is shown that the instability is of…

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…

We consider the free fall of slender rigid bodies in a viscous incompressible fluid. We show that the dimensional reduction (DR), performed by substituting the slender bodies with one-dimensional rigid objects, together with a hyperviscous…

We study experimentally the dynamics of one and two ball-chains settling under gravity in a very viscous fluid at a Reynolds number much smaller than unity. We demonstrate that single ball-chains in most cases do not tend to be planar and…

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.…

We investigate the miscible Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability in both 2 and 3 dimensions using direct numerical simulations, where the working fluid is assumed incompressible under the Boussinesq approximation. We first consider the case of…
