Dynamics and stability of thin liquid films

RV Craster, OK Matar - Reviews of modern physics, 2009 - APS
The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

Long-scale evolution of thin liquid films

A Oron, SH Davis, SG Bankoff - Reviews of modern physics, 1997 - APS
Macroscopic thin liquid films are entities that are important in biophysics, physics, and
engineering, as well as in natural settings. They can be composed of common liquids such …

Solitary wave dynamics of film flows

J Liu, JP Gollub - Physics of Fluids, 1994 - pubs.aip.org
The development and interaction of solitary wave pulses is critical to understanding wavy
film flows on an inclined (or vertical) surface. Sufficiently far downstream, the wave structure …

Three‐dimensional instabilities of film flows

J Liu, JB Schneider, JP Gollub - Physics of Fluids, 1995 - pubs.aip.org
Two‐dimensional (2‐D) interfacial waves on flowing films are unstable with respect to both
two‐and three‐dimensional instabilities. In this paper, several distinct three‐dimensional …

Long‐wave instabilities and saturation in thin film equations

AL Bertozzi, MC Pugh - … on Pure and Applied Mathematics: A …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Hocherman and Rosenau conjectured that long‐wave unstable Cahn‐Hilliard‐type interface
models develop finite‐time singularities when the nonlinearity in the destabilizing term …

Drop formation during coating of vertical fibres

S Kalliadasis, HC Chang - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1994 - cambridge.org
When the coating film around a vertical fibre exceeds a critical thickness hc, the interfacial
disturbances triggered by Rayleigh instability can undergo accelerated growth such that …

Viscous beads on vertical fibre

IL Kliakhandler, SH Davis, SG Bankoff - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2001 - cambridge.org
The dynamics of a thick layer of viscous liquid flowing down a thin vertical fibre is
investigated. Three qualitatively different regimes of the interfacial patterns in the form of …

Film flows in the presence of electric fields

DT Papageorgiou - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
The presence of electric fields in immiscible multifluid flows induces Maxwell stresses at
sharp interfaces that can produce electrohydrodynamic phenomena of practical importance …

Marangoni instability of a thin liquid film heated from below by a local heat source

S Kalliadasis, A Kiyashko… - Journal of Fluid …, 2003 - cambridge.org
We consider the motion of a liquid film falling down a heated planar substrate. Using the
integral-boundary-layer approximation of the Navier–Stokes/energy equations and free …

Thermocapillary instability and wave formation on a film falling down a uniformly heated plane

S Kalliadasis, EA Demekhin, C Ruyer-Quil… - Journal of Fluid …, 2003 - cambridge.org
We consider a thin layer of a viscous fluid flowing down a uniformly heated planar wall. The
heating generates a temperature distribution on the free surface which in turn induces …
