The speed at which a liquid can move over a solid surface is strongly limited when a three-
phase contact line is present, separating wet from dry regions. When enforcing large contact …

Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

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 …

The status of our understanding of nucleation is reviewed. Both general aspects of
nucleation and those specific to protein solutions and colloidal suspensions are considered …

Capillary Flows with Forming Interfaces explores numerous theoretical problems that arise
in the mathematical description of capillary flows. It focuses on developing a unified …

When the free surfaces of most solids approach their bulk melting temperatures from below,
the molecular structure of the material gives way to a disordered structure with some …

The free surface of a thin soft polymer film is often found to become unstable and self-
organizes into various meso-scale structures. In this article we classify the instability of a thin …

The interfacial convection in multilayer systems is a widespread phenomenon that is of great
importance in numerous branches of technology, including chemical engineering, space …

We consider a thin film consisting of two layers of immiscible liquids on a solid horizontal
(heated) substrate. Both the free liquid–liquid and the liquid–gas interface of such a bilayer …

We consider two stacked ultrathin layers of different liquids on a solid substrate. Using long-
wave theory, we derive coupled evolution equations for the free liquid-liquid and liquid-gas …
