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 differences with the basic viscous string model and with its viscous rod model extension. In particular, an elliptic deformation of the torus section appears because of surface tension effects, and this cannot be described by viscous string nor viscous rod models. Furthermore, we study the Rayleigh-Plateau instability for periodic deformations around the perfect torus, and we show that the instability is not sufficient to lead to the torus breakup in several droplets before it collapses to a single spherical drop. Conversely, a rotating torus is dynamically attracted toward a stationary solution, around which the instability can develop freely and split the torus in multiple droplets.
It has been recently reported that in presence of low Reynolds number (Re<<1) transport, preformed bacterial biofilms, several hours after their formation, may degenerate in form of filamentous structures, known as streamers. In this letter, we expla
In a recent paper, Liu, Zhu and Wu (2015, {it J. Fluid Mech.} {bf 784}: 304) present a force theory for a body in a two-dimensional, viscous, compressible and steady flow. In this companion paper we do the same for three-dimensional flow. Using the f
We analyze modern operational models of wind wave prediction on the subject for compliance dissipation. Our numerical simulations from the first principle demonstrate that heuristic formulas for damping rate of free wind sea due to white capping (or
Marangoni propulsion is a form of locomotion wherein an asymmetric release of surfactant by a body located at the surface of a liquid leads to its directed motion. We present in this paper a mathematical model for Marangoni propulsion in the viscous
A quasi-one-dimensional analytic model is proposed for the internal fluid of rotating detonation combustors (RDCs). This model uses the shock-tube model that constrains the flow to have only a longitudinal component, while admitting the propagation o
