Newtonian pizza: spinning a viscous sheet

We study the axisymmetric stretching of a thin sheet of viscous fluid driven by a centrifugal body force. Time-dependent simulations show that the sheet radius R(t) tends to infinity in finite time. As time t approaches the critical time t*, the sheet becomes partitioned into a very thin central reg...
