Caption: Asymmetrical pinch-off of a burst of air from a slot-shaped nozzle. The top series shows a broad neck with a scalloped profile that results from slower bursts. The neck becomes more ribbon-like from faster bursts in the middle series. The ribbon thins until a hole forms in the center of the neck. Faster bursts also can produce off-center tearing, as shown in the bottom series.Nathan Keim, University of Chicago
