Abstract
The dynamics of a thick layer of viscous liquid flowing down a thin vertical fibre is investigated. Three qualitatively different regimes of the interfacial patterns in the form of beads were observed experimentally. Two typical regimes at relatively small flow rate are described reasonably well by the creeping-flow model equation proposed here.
