The behaviour of elastic liquids does not follow simply from our understanding of both elastic solids and viscous liquids. Four anomalous behaviours will be discussed :-- (i) long wakes at low Reynolds numbers, (ii) large vortices upstream of a...

Surface tension would like to reduce the surface area of a cylinder of liquid by turning the cylinder into a sequence of spherical drops. In the case of a cylindrical coating on a fibre, the fibre interrupts this process. On a horizontal fibre, the...
