Dynamics of two-dimensional bubbles and drops and a simple scaling in nonlinear fracture.
We talk on experiments on the coalescence of drops and the drag friction acting on a fluid drop, all performed in a two-dimensional Hele-Shaw cell. In addition we talk on an experimentally found simple scaling relation in fracture of familiar plastic bags and its implication in the fracture of nonlinear materials.
