Project Name: A Rope within a Rope: Fluid Polymerization in the Liquid Rope Coiling Effect
Project Leaders: Matthew Schulz
Chapter Advisors: Rafael Lang
Project Description: The liquid rope coiling effect describes the propensity of streams of viscous fluids to coil when falling onto a surface. This process has been modeled and observed for homogenous Newtonian liquids. In this study, the liquid rope coiling effect is observed and characterized for variable-length polymer solutions.
