We consider a two-dimensional motion of a thin film flowing down an inclined plane under the influence of the gravity and the surface tension. In order to investigate the stability of such flow, it is hard to treat the Navier--Stokes…
Exponential stabilization to time-dependent trajectories for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is achieved with explicit feedback controls. The fluid is contained in two-dimensional spatial domains and the control force is, at each…

We propose and analyse a new methodology based on linear-quadratic regulation (LQR) for stabilising falling liquid films via blowing and suction at the base. LQR methods enable rapidly responding feedback control by precomputing a gain…
The classical no-slip boundary condition of the Navier-Stokes equations fails to describe the spreading motion of a droplet on a substrate due to the missing small-scale physics near the contact line. In this thesis, we introduce a novel…

We use dynamical systems theory to construct the normal form of the Navier--Stokes equations for the flow of a thin layer of fluid upon a solid substrate. The normal form equations illuminate the fluid dynamics by decoupling the long-term…
