Journal Club Buckling of Viscous Filaments of a Fluid under Compression Stresses
Maxime Costalonga

Details:

Maxime will first introduce the paper as an analogy between fluid mechanics and elasticity. He will extend the case of buckling treated in the paper to plectonemes, with hopefully a live experiment (no pressure). Finally, he will conclude by citing similar analogies between fluids and elasticity.
