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 …

Nanofluidics has emerged recently in the footsteps of microfluidics, following the quest for
scale reduction inherent to nanotechnologies. By definition, nanofluidics explores transport …

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 transport of fluids at the nanoscale has achieved major breakthroughs over recent
years,,–; however, artificial channels still cannot match the efficiency of biological porins in …

Condensation on liquids has been studied extensively in context of breath figure templating,
materials synthesis and enhancing heat transfer using liquid impregnated surfaces …

We focus on the dynamical aspects of wetting phenomena on the nanoscale for which bulk
hydrodynamic equations become invalid. At the nanoscale, phenomena that are irrelevant …

We study the influence of thermal fluctuations on the dewetting dynamics of thin liquid films.
Starting from the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with thermal noise, we derive a …

We develop numerical schemes for solving the isothermal compressible and incompressible
equations of fluctuating hydrodynamics on a grid with staggered momenta. We develop a …

It is of both fundamental and practical interest to study the flow physics in the manipulation of
droplets. In this paper, we investigate complex flow in liquid droplets actuated by a linear …

Sufficiently thin liquid films on solid surfaces are often unstable to intermolecular forces and
it is commonly assumed that their rupture occurs via a linear instability mechanism in the so …
