The wetting of solid surfaces using liquid droplets has been studied since the early 1800s.
Thomas Young and Pierre-Simon Laplace investigated the wetting properties, as well as the …

Three numerical methods, namely, volume of fluid (VOF), simple coupled volume of fluid
with level set (S‐CLSVOF), and S‐CLSVOF with the density‐scaled balanced continuum …

Theoretical and numerical study of the convection processes, which are accompanied by
evaporation/condensation, in the framework of new non-standard problem is largely …

Droplets are ubiquitous and have been studied for a century; however, their internal flow
pattern and related instabilities that occur in the course of evaporation are not fully …

We linearly analyzed the effect of the Prandtl number (Pr) on the stability of thermocapillary
flow in shallow annular pools with an aspect ratio Γ=(R oR i)/d= 20 and two radius ratios Γ …

Thermocapillary convection of nanofluid with evaporating phase change interface occurs in
a variety of industrial processes such as micro/nano fabrication, ink-jet printing, thin film …

The work is focused on obtaining boundary conditions for a one-sided numerical model of
thermoconvective instabilities in evaporating pinned sessile droplets of ethanol on heated …

The characteristics of convective regimes in a two-layer system have been investigated in
the framework of the Boussinesq approximation of the Navier–Stokes equations. An exact …

This paper investigates the effects of phase change on the stability of a laterally heated
liquid layer for the first time. The interface is open to the atmosphere and vapor diffusion is …

Thermocapillary patterning, namely, the formation of micro/nano patterns in a liquid film by
surface deformation induced by an imposed thermal gradient, has enjoyed widespread …
