摘要
By forcing the sudden dewetting of a free soap film attached on one edge to a straight solid wire, we study the recession and subsequent destabilization of its free edge. The newly formed rim bordering the sheet is initially thicker than the film to which it is attached, because of the Plateau border preexisting on the wire. The initial condition is thus that of an immobile massive toroidal rim connected to a thin liquid film of thickness h. The terminal Taylor-Culick receding velocity V = root 2 sigma/rho h, where sigma and rho are the liquid surface tension and density, respectively, is only reached after a transient acceleration period which promotes the rim destabilization. The selected wavelength and associated growth time coincide with those of an inertial instability driven by surface tension.
