The secondary discrepancy in the central-force model (measured orbit shrinkage not reproduced, acknowledged in Section 3.4) is not the central issue.

Independently, run a controlled experiment on a static curved soap film (e.g., hemispherical film) with two holes triggered by local sparks, plus a flat-film control; the flat control should produce head-on rim collisions without a twisted ribbon, and the static curved film should produce the ribbon, to confirm that curvature—not the corona splash's flow—causes the crossing.","verdict_should_be":"UNCHANGED","load_bearing_attack":"The central claim—that on a curved film two expanding-hole rims cross laterally and form a spinning twisted ribbon—depends entirely on the premise stated in Section 3.1: a rim leaves the original curved surface because surface tension acts tangentially and 'initially, there is no centripetal force to maintain the rims on a curved path.' This premise is asserted, not measured. The kinematic model (Eq. 3.2) builds the premise in: it prescribes rims expanding along two parallel planes separated by 2R and therefore crossing laterally by construction. Consequently, the good agreement of Eq. (3.3) and Fig. 4 with the observed conjunction points validates the kinematics of a crossing-ribbon geometry, but it does not test why the rims cross. The paper's claim that the phenomenon is 'distinctly different from what occurs on flat films' rests on this unmeasured premise and on literature comparison, not on a direct curved-versus-flat control. Moreover, all experiments are in a corona splash, where the film is simultaneously moving and stretching; the lateral crossing could in principle be caused by the crown's non-uniform velocity field rather than by curvature. The small-curvature limit stated in Section 3.1 (d/R_f < 0.1, so the out-of-plane deviation is only of order d^2/(2R_f) ~ tens of microns, comparable to R) makes the premise quantitatively nontrivial and highlights the need for direct evidence.","agreement_with_reader":"agree"},"referee_report":{"model":"deepseek-v4-flash","summary":"The paper studies multiple-hole rupture of the curved crown film in corona splash using high-speed imaging (31,000 fps; 21 drop-impact experiments; 198 holes). The central observation is that when two expanding holes meet on the curved film, their rims cross laterally rather than colliding head-on, and the film between them evolves into a spinning, twisted, helicoid-like ribbon (spin rates up to about 5200 Hz) that subsequently develops corrugations, ligaments, and droplet ejection. The authors attribute the lateral crossing to the absence of an initial centripetal force that would keep the rims on the curved surface (Section 3.1). They then propose three models: a kinematic model (Eq. 3.2) in which the rims expand on two parallel planes separated by 2R and are connected by a ruled surface, reproducing the observed ribbon shape and conjunction-point trajectories (Eq. 3.3, Fig. 4); an asymmetric variant (Eq. 3.14) for unequal holes with a hyperbolic meeting line (Fig. 5); and a two-body central-force model (Eq. 3.15) yielding open, non-circular rim orbits compared with stereoscopic measurements (Figs. 6-7). The corrugations are attributed to Plateau-Rayleigh and/or Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities (Fig. 8), and the outward axial flow predicted by the kinematics (Eq. 4.1) is confirmed by tracking the motion of corrugations (Fig. 9).","tokens_in":20142,"tokens_out":22536,"duration_ms":189889,"significance":"The spinning twisted ribbon is, to my knowledge, a genuinely new rim-interaction morphology; Dombrowski and Fraser (1954) noted a possible 'twist' only in passing, and the present study supplies the first systematic kinematics, instability analysis, and droplet-formation consequences. If the proposed mechanism is confirmed, the result identifies a route to droplet formation distinct from the head-on rim collisions and rim splashing characterised by Neel et al. (2020) and Tang et al. (2024), with plausible implications for sprays, bursting bubbles, and atomization. The paper's strengths should be credited: a solid observational base (198 holes, 21 experiments, stereoscopic imaging for the orbits); checkable claims (supplementary movies, the explicit parametric surface (3.2), an internally verified parallax correction in Appendix B); one genuinely parameter-free prediction, the axial-flow relation (4.1), confirmed in Fig. 9(b); and honest treatment of both the orbit-shrinkage discrepancy (Section 3.4) and the degeneracy between the two instability mechanisms (Section 4.2).","major_comments":[{"comment":"The causal premise of the paper is asserted rather than tested. Section 3.1 attributes the lateral crossing to rims departing from the curved surface because 'initially, there is no centripetal force to maintain the rims on a curved path', but no measurement of the rim trajectory relative to the original curved surface is reported (the single-hole example in supplementary movie 5 is not quantified), and the kinematic model (3.2) builds the crossing in by prescribing rims that expand on two parallel planes separated by 2R. The conjunction-point agreement in Fig. 4 therefore confirms that a crossing-ribbon kinematics describes the observed geometry, but it does not test why the rims cross: any mechanism producing the same crossing geometry would satisfy Eq. (3.3) equally well. Two consequences follow. First, the claim in Section 5 that the phenomenon 'does not occur in planar films' rests on literature comparison rather than on a control experiment within the same apparatus. Second, the effect size makes the premise quantitatively delicate: with d/R_f < 0.1 (Section 3.1), the out-of-plane sag of the surface between the holes is d^2/(2R_f) of order 50 microns, which is the same order as the measured rotation radii R of 83-111 microns, so the premise is as large as the effect it is invoked to explain. In addition, all experiments are conducted in a corona splash, where the crown is simultaneously moving and stretching, leaving the non-uniform velocity field as an untested alternative cause of lateral crossing. I would ask for (i) direct rim-trajectory measurements relative to the curved surface in the frame of the film (the stereoscopic data used for Fig. 6 may already permit this), or (ii) a flat-film control experiment, or (iii) at minimum an explicit softening of the causal claim to a labelled hypothesis in Sections 3.1 and 5.","section":"Section 3.1 (with Eq. 3.2 and Section 5)"},{"comment":"The kinematic validation is partly in-sample. The inputs u_c and d are measured from the same video frames that are compared with the model, and R is not measured geometrically but is inferred from the central spin frequency omega_0 = u_c/R, measured from the very ribbon whose shape and conjunction points are then reproduced. The statement 'no fitting parameters are involved' is correct in a narrow sense, but the agreement in Fig. 4 is closer to a self-consistency check of the kinematic description than to an independent test. The non-trivial content of the prediction is the functional form of Eqs. (3.3)-(3.4), including the emergence times t_n = n pi R/u_c and the asymptotic speed u_c; this deserves an out-of-sample check, for example parameters measured at early times applied to later times, or an independent geometric measurement of R (for instance from the ribbon width in the orthogonal stereo view), together with a sensitivity analysis in R and d. The one truly parameter-independent prediction in the paper is the axial-flow relation (4.1), which contains neither R nor an in-sample spin measurement and is confirmed in Fig. 9(b); presenting that relation as the primary validation of the kinematics would be more convincing. The asymmetric model of Section 3.3 is compared with experiment only by visual resemblance (Fig. 5): no quantitative comparison of the hyperbola parameters, of the drift direction, or of the off-midplane structure is provided, and the text itself notes that the drift cannot be measured directly; a quantitative metric would strengthen this section.","section":"Section 3.2 (Eq. 3.3, Fig. 4)"},{"comment":"The corroborative value of the central-force model is limited by its inputs and by the acknowledged discrepancy. The initial conditions (r(0), v_theta(0), v_r(0)) and the reduced linear mass m_mu are measured from the same orbits that the model is asked to reproduce, and the measured orbits shrink with time (Fig. 7b) in a way that the conservative two-body model cannot produce; the text attributes the shrinking to air resistance and rim-mass variation without quantifying either effect. The period comparison in Fig. 7(a) uses three experiments, and the angular and radial periods are computed from a system whose radius drifts by tens of percent over the observation window; without a sensitivity analysis it is unclear how robust the 'reasonably good agreement' is. I would ask the authors to quantify the radial shrinkage (for instance a fitted drift rate), to state how the drift affects T_theta and T_r, to restrict the quantitative comparison to a time window in which the orbit is approximately stationary, or to extend the model with a slow drag or mass-accumulation term. As it stands, the section's main contribution is conceptual, namely the demonstration via Bertrand's theorem that a constant central force yields the open, non-circular orbits observed, and the quantitative period comparison should be softened accordingly.","section":"Section 3.4 (Eq. 3.15, Figs. 6-7)"}],"minor_comments":[{"comment":"The text twice uses the plural 'this phenomena' where 'this phenomenon' is intended, notably in the sentence 'We compare and contrast this phenomena with its counterpart on planar films'; this should be corrected.","section":"Abstract and Section 1"},{"comment":"The printed definition of the angular period (T_theta = t_theta 2 pi / Delta theta) appears to be a typesetting error for T_theta = 2 pi Delta t_theta / Delta theta; please correct it for readability.","section":"Section 3.4"},{"comment":"The mean-curvature formula (3.6) appears to contain an exponent error in the printed equation (the placement of alpha^2 and the 3/2 power); please verify the printed expression against the derivation, since the bound H < 1/d in (3.7) is used to support the minimum-surface interpretation.","section":"Section 3.2 (Eq. 3.6)"},{"comment":"The claimed facilitation of droplet formation at lower Weber numbers than rim splashing rests on a single local value (We_loc about 58) with an explicit statement that the threshold was not explored; the hedged wording of Section 4.1 is appropriate, and the corresponding sentence in Section 5 should retain the same hedge rather than stating the lower-Weber-number result as a firm finding.","section":"Section 4.1"},{"comment":"Please clarify the 'ribbons per hole' statistic (0.8 +/- 0.1 over 198 holes): what exactly is counted as a ribbon, and is the quoted uncertainty across experiments or across holes?

The most economical fix is a re-analysis of the existing stereoscopic data to track rim trajectories relative to the curved surface in the frame of the film; if that is not possible, the causal claim should be explicitly demoted to a hypothesis and the Abstract and Conclusions reworded accordingly. I would not recommend rejection: the observation is new, well documented, and the kinematic description together with the axial-flow test (Eq. 4.1) provides a solid quantitative core. I also note that the paper is careful and fair in citing the flat-film rim-collision literature (Neel et al. 2020; Tang et al. 2024), so I see no citation-pattern concerns."},"author_rebuttal":null,"desk_editor":{"model":"deepseek-v4-flash","letter":"First, the thing to know: this is a real observation, well documented. The paper shows that when two holes meet on a curved liquid sheet, the rims cross laterally, spin, and form a helicoid-like ribbon that later sheds droplets. That phenomenon was only a passing remark in Dombrowski & Fraser (1954). Here it gets systematic treatment with high-speed imaging across 21 experiments and 198 holes, and the main visual evidence is convincing.\n\nCredit where due: the kinematic model (Eq. 3.2) captures the ribbon geometry well, and the conjunction-point comparison in Fig. 4 is a genuine check of the model's functional form, not just a curve fit. The axial-flow relation (4.1) is a nice parameter-free prediction that matches data. The instability analysis is honest: they admit Plateau-Rayleigh and Rayleigh-Taylor predict similar wavelengths under their conditions, so they cannot distinguish between them. That is the right way to present ambiguous evidence.\n\nThe soft spots are real but not fatal. The main one is the load-bearing premise in Sec 3.1: the claim that this is unique to curved films rests on the statement that a rim leaves the curved surface because there is initially no centripetal force. Physically that is plausible—surface tension is tangential, so the rim should fly off along a tangent—but it is not directly measured. The kinematic model builds the premise in, so its good agreement with observed conjunction points validates the kinematics of a crossing ribbon, not the reason for the crossing. Also, all experiments are in a corona splash, where the film is moving and stretching; there is no direct flat-film control, so \"distinctly different from flat films\" relies on literature comparison. I do not think this kills the paper, but it does mean the uniqueness claim is weaker than the existence of the ribbon.\n\nSecondary issues: R is inferred from the measured spin frequency, and other parameters come from the same videos used for comparison, so some agreement is in-sample. The central-force model gives open orbits but misses the observed orbital shrinking; the authors attribute that to air resistance and mass variation, which is plausible but unquantified. These limitations are acknowledged in the text.\n\nWho should read it: anyone working on film rupture, rim dynamics, corona splash, or droplet formation from thin sheets. It is a solid experimental contribution with modest modeling. I would send it to a serious referee; it was already published in JFM and it shows. For my own work, I would cite it for the phenomenon and the kinematic model, but I would be careful not to repeat the uniqueness claim without noting the assumption behind it.\n\nRecommendation: engage with it. The gap—a direct test of curvature versus film motion—is addressable and would be a good follow-up, but the paper stands on its own as the first serious characterization of the twisted ribbon.","headline":"Solid experimental first look at spinning twisted ribbons on curved films; the phenomenon is real, the mechanism is plausible but rests on an untested premise about rim departure.","tokens_in":20635,"tokens_out":2948,"would_cite":true,"duration_ms":31312,"reading_group":"yes","serious_thinker":"yes","would_accept_peer_review":true},"rs_alignment":null,"lean_confirmation":null,"pith_extraction":{"msc":[],"pacs":[],"model":"deepseek-v4-flash","headline":"On a curved liquid film, two meeting holes do not collide head-on; their rims cross laterally and the film winds into a spinning twisted ribbon that breaks into droplets.","keywords":["drops and bubbles","breakup/coalescence","thin films","liquid film rupture","multiple-hole rupture","spinning twisted ribbon","corona splash","Taylor-Culick velocity"],"falsifier":"Use two orthogonally placed high-speed cameras to track individual rim points on a curved film with known thickness and curvature, and check whether the rims depart tangentially from the local surface and then cross laterally; if the measured paths follow the film's curvature and the rims collide head-on, the premise fails.

The spinning ribbon then develops corrugations and ligaments that pinch into droplets, at lower local Weber numbers than the head-on rim splashing seen on planar films.

Surface tension of the connecting sheet then makes the crossed rims rotate about the crossing axis, winding the intervening film into a helicoid-like ribbon about one hundred micrometres wide that spins at rates up to roughly 5000 Hz. The paper derives the ribbon's geometric evolution from a ruled-surface kinematic model with no fitting parameters, matches the measured positions of the visible conjunction points over time, and reproduces the open, shrinking rim orbits with a two-body central-force model.
