Kaye effect

The effect Kaye indicates the complex behavior of a viscous fluid thyxotropic describes for the first time by Arthur Kaye in 1963.

Description

When a fine net of liquid viscous organic, like Shampoo, runs out and meets a viscous surface, it starts by forming a small heap then, suddenly, a secondary net is formed. The secondary net will rise with the vertical and will mix with the primary education net, thus stopping its source of production. The total duration of the phenomenon is approximately 300 ms. If the base is tilted however, the Kaye effect can be stabilized and be used as optical guide of wave, with the manner of the fiberoptics. The phenomenon has had for summer observed in several liquids thyxotropic, i.e. of the liquids which become less viscous while running out.

The observation received explanation only in 2006.
