Stretching viscous fluids into long thin threads is important in a broad range of applications. Examples include the use of polymeric materials and glass to produce textiles and fibre optics.
The production process often requires high temperatures to facilitate stretching with moderate forces. The viscosity of the materials that are typically used can vary dramatically with temperature.
Therefore, the resulting thermal gradients can be significant, leading to large gradients in the viscosity of the thread.

An important property of the equatorial region is that it acts as a waveguide,
