Recent experimental observations have demonstrated interesting instability phenomenon during thermal drawing of microstructured glass/polymer fibers, and these observations motivate us to examine surface-tension-driven instabilities in concentric cylindrical shells of viscous fluids. In this paper, we focus on a single instability mechanism: classical capillary instabilities in the form of radial fluctuations, solving the full Navier--Stokes equations numerically. In equal-viscosity cases where an analytical linear theory is available, we compare to the full numerical solution and delineate the regime in which the linear theory is valid. We also consider unequal-viscosity situations (similar to experiments) in which there is no published linear theory, and explain the numerical results with a simple asymptotic analysis. These results are then applied to experimental thermal drawing systems. We show that the observed instabilities are consistent with radial-fluctuation analysis, but cannot be predicted by radial fluctuations alone---an additional mechanism is required. We show how radial fluctuations alone, however, can be used to analyze various candidate material systems for thermal drawing, clearly ruling out some possibilities while suggesting others that have not yet been considered in experiments.
Motivated by complex multi-fluid geometries currently being explored in fibre-device manufacturing, we study capillary instabilities in concentric cylindrical flows of $N$ fluids with arbitrary viscosities, thicknesses, densities, and surface tension
A new type of instability - electrokinetic instability - and an unusual transition to chaotic motion near a charge-selective surface was studied by numerical integration of the Nernst-Planck-Poisson-Stokes system and a weakly nonlinear analysis near
We show how the capillary filling of microchannels is affected by posts or ridges on the sides of the channels. Ridges perpendicular to the flow direction introduce contact line pinning which slows, or sometimes prevents, filling; whereas ridges para
Recent experiments of thin films flowing down a vertical fiber with varying nozzle diameters present a wealth of new dynamics that illustrate the need for more advanced theory. We present a detailed analysis using a full lubrication model that includ
In a cylindrical container filled with an eutectic GaInSn alloy, an electro-vortex flow (EVF) is generated by the interaction of a non-uniform current with its own magnetic field. In this paper, we investigate the EVF phenomenon numerically and exper
