Journal ArticleDOI
Disintegration of Water Drops in an Electric Field
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a conical interface between two fluids can exist in equilibrium in an electric field, but only when the cone has a semi-vertical angle 49.3$^\circ$.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano-optics of surface plasmon polaritons
TL;DR: A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic excitation existing on the surface of a good metal, whose electromagnetic field decays exponentially with distance from the surface.

Nonlinear Systems: Analysis, Stability, and Control
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare Linear vs. Nonlinear Control of Differential Geometry with Linearization by State Feedback (LSF) by using Linearization and Geometric Non-linear Control (GNC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear dynamics and breakup of free-surface flows
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical development of this field alongside recent experimental work, and outline unsolved problems, as well as a host of technological applications, ranging from printing to mixing and fiber spinning.

Physics of liquid jets
Jens Eggers,Emmanuel Villermaux +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the fundamental and technological aspects of these subjects can be found in this article, where the focus is mainly on surface tension effects, which result from the cohesive properties of liquids Paradoxically, cohesive forces promote the breakup of jets, widely encountered in nature, technology and basic science.
