Scientists of the University of Twente in The Netherlands won a prestigious place in the ‘Hall of Fame’ of videos about fluid-in-motion.
They have made a video of leaping shampoo, in which they explain the so-called Kaye effect.
A. Kaye in Nature magazine in 1963 wrote “I can offer no explanation for this behaviour.”
At high-speed recording of 1000 frames per second the following observations were made in 300ms interval:
1) a heap is formed, 2) a streamer ejects, 3) the outgoing jet rises, 4) hits the incoming jet, 5) ends the Kaye effect.
What causes the Kaye effect?
Streamer ejects through shear-thinning property of fluid. A dimple is formed in the viscous heap. Outgoing jet is thicker quantitatively following continuity. The dimple deepens through a vertical force acting on the viscous heap and the jet rises.
The scientists set up a simple energy balance model. It includes viscous dissipation and the sear-thinning behavior of the shampoo in the dimple structure. Elastic properties of the fluid play no role.
The model predicts the leap height of the shampoo as a function of the release height. It even predicts a critical release height as observed in experiment. (For details see: JSTAT / 2006 / P07007)
To prevent the outgoing jet from interfering with the incoming jet the surface was tilted, leading to a stable Kaye effect cascade.
Leaping shampoo may even act as a light guide for laser beams in multitude of colors.
The people who worked on this are: Michel Versluis, Cor Blom, Devaraj van Meer, Ko van der Weele, Detlef Lohse.
