The core that does not move, and where its edge is
The core that does not move, and where its edge is. Four velocity profiles at the same pressure gradient and four yield stresses. The shear stress in a pipe is G r/2 whatever the fluid is — that is a force balance and not a constitutive law — so the fluid is unyielded exactly inside r = 2 tau_y/G, and the plug radius is known before anything is solved.

3 essays call viscous-exact. The drawing above is what it returns with no arguments at all; every call below passes it something, because a placement that passes nothing draws whichever member of the family the generator happens to default to rather than the one its essay argues about.

It is also the blast radius. Changing viscous-exact changes every figure listed here at once, and on this site it may change what they assert as well as what they show — which is what has to be rebuilt and looked at before the change is believed.

Where it is called

What each of these essays asks for instead of the defaults is on the regime index, which reads the parameters back out of the finished figures rather than out of the placements.
