The instability and dewetting of bounded liquid films at the nanoscale are shown to strongly
depend on thermal fluctuations. In this work, this fluctuation-driven instability of films on a …

The Rayleigh–Plateau instability occurs when surface tension makes a fluid column become
unstable to small perturbations. At nanometer scales, thermal fluctuations are comparable to …

Instability and rupture dynamics of a liquid nano-thread, subjected to external hydrodynamic
perturbations, are captured by a stochastic lubrication equation (SLE) incorporating thermal …

Consensus on bulk nanobubble stability remains elusive, despite accepted indirect
evidence for longevity. We develop a nanobubble evolution model by incorporating thermal …

We present a finite element approach for diffusion problems with thermal fluctuations based
on a fluctuating hydrodynamics model. The governing equations are stochastic partial …

A linear sixth-order partial differential equation (PDE) of “parabolic” type describes the
dynamics of thin liquid films beneath surfaces with elastic bending resistance when …

We simulate the mesoscopic dynamics of droplets formed by phase separated fluids at
nanometer scales where thermal fluctuations are significant. Both spherical droplets fully …

We simulate phase separated fluids using the Cahn-Hillard fluctuating hydrodynamic (CH-
FHD) model and measure the statistical properties of capillary waves generated by thermal …

The publication of the famous Reynolds equation [1], a tool used to find the pressure
distribution in a thin fluid film between two bearings, is thought by many to be the origin of …
