▪ Abstract Development and optimization of multifunctional devices for fluidic manipulation of
films, drops, and bubbles require detailed understanding of interfacial phenomena and …

A capillary surface is an interface between two fluids whose shape is determined primarily
by surface tension. Sessile drops, liquid bridges, rivulets, and liquid drops on fibers are all …

This study describes the analytical and numerical solution of the heat conduction equation
for a localised moving heat source of any type for use in laser material processing, as …

A theoretical and numerical model is formulated to describe the instability and the long-time
evolution of both gravity-driven and surface-shear-stress-driven thin coating films. A single …

We study the equilibrium conformations of liquid microstructures on flat but chemically
heterogeneous substrates using energy minimization computations. The surface patterns …

Abstract The Plateau–Rayleigh instability (PRI) is a well‐known phenomenon where a liquid
column always breaks up into droplets to achieve the minimization of surface energy. It …

We study the stability of rivulets on horizontal substrates. The implemented model includes
the effects of capillarity, fluid-solid interaction, and gravity if appropriate, within the …

This paper presents a straightforward theoretical model for the slow motion of a viscous
liquid drop on an inclined or vertical wall. The model simulates three-dimensional unsteady …

A static rivulet is subject to disturbances in shape, velocity and pressure fields. Disturbances
to interfacial shape accommodate a contact line that is either (i) fixed (pinned) or (ii) fully …

Experiments on streams of water flowing down a rigid substrate have been performed for
various plate inclinations and flow rates, and we focused on the regime of stationary …
