Catenaries in viscous fluid
Abstract eng: This work explores a simple model of a slender, flexible structure in a uniform flow. We present analytical solutions for the translating, axially flowing equilibria of strings subjected to a uniform body force and drag forces linear in the velocities. This is an extension of the classical catenaries to a five-parameter family of shapes, represented as trajectories in angle-curvature “phase space”. A sixth parameter affects the tension in the curves. Limiting cases include neutrally buoyant towed cables and freely sedimenting flexible filaments.
