Surface-tension-driven buckling of a thin viscous sheet
We derive leading-order governing equations and boundary conditions for a sheet of viscous fluid retracting freely under surface tension. We show that small thickness perturbations about a flat base state can lead to regions of compression, where one or both of the principal tensions in the sheet be...
