Journal of Engineering Mathematics - JEM Webinar: Free Surface Cusps

Topic: Free surface cusps

Speaker: Professor Jens Eggers, University of Bristol

Cusp shapes are widely observed in nature, most famously as the bright caustic lines on the inside of a coffee cup. This can be understood from the fact that a cusp arises from the smooth deformation of a parameterized curve. Remarkably, the same generic cusp can be formed on the surface of a viscous fluid with surface tension, as demonstrated by Jeong and Moffatt [J. Fluid Mech. 241, 1, (1992)], using complex mapping techniques.
