Abstract

A liquid film flowing down a fiber or thread is well known to destabilize into an axisymmetric bead-like pattern in stagnant air. We demonstrate experimentally how side wind affects such a film flow. Our results show that side wind increases the descent speed of the liquid beads, highlighting that the film flow regime can be changed by controlling the magnitude of the wind speed.
