A leaf flutters as it falls. But put holes in it, and the fluttering can stop, as shown in the recent paper by Sánchez-Rodríguez and Gallaire (https://t.co/5ciB39tp25). Don't miss their Journal Club presentation on Feb 20 at 11am ET. Register here: https://t.co/jSN7mQ7Nso

In this @PhysRevFluids paper we study the linear stability of a viscous liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder. When surface tension dominates, pearls form around the cylinder, whereas when gravity dominates, hanging droplets form.

In this ⁦@PhysRevFluids⁩ paper, we study a randomly forced flow past the onset of a pitchfork bifurcation. After reducing the dynamics to its normal form, tools from statistical mechanics are applied to determine transition statistics. https://t.co/RFIch4nWjn

Check out our @PhysRevFluids paper, where we present a physics-inspired mathematical model based on linear eigenmode projections to solve the nonlinear relaxation dynamics of liquid oscillations with hysteretic contact line motions. @lfmi_epfl @APSphysics https://t.co/oJEOmBp9YN
