The phase separation between a striped polaron liquid at the particular density and a high density polaron liquid is described by a modified Van der Waals scheme. The striped polaron liquid represents the pseudo gap matter or Wigner-like…
This paper is concerned with a diffuse interface model for the gas-liquid phase transition. The model consists the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with van der Waals equation of state and a modified Allen-Cahn equation. The global…
In this paper, we are first interested in the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with densitydependent viscosities in bounded domains with on-homogeneous Dirichlet conditions. We study the wellposedness of such models with non-constant…
In this paper, we study a hydrodynamic phase-field system modeling the deformation of functionalized membranes in incompressible viscous fluids. The governing PDE system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a convective…
We consider the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in a three-dimensional curved thin domain around a given closed surface under the slip boundary conditions. Our aim is to show that a solution to the bulk equations is approximated by a…
A mathematical model is developed to analyze the growth/decay rate of surface perturbations of an ultrathin metal film on an amorphous substrate (SiO_{2}). The formulation combines the approach of Mullins [J. Appl. Phys. v30, 77, 1959] for…
This work presents a mathematical model for the optimal control of thin-film flows over a flexible topography influenced by an external force. Our thin-film model allows for the rupture of films as well as the coalescence of bubbles. The…
We consider the Cahn-Hilliard equation with constant mobility and logarithmic potential on a two-dimensional evolving closed surface embedded in $\mathbb R^3$, as well as a related weighted model. The well-posedness of weak solutions for…
The Cahn-Hilliard equation is the most common model to describe phase separation processes of a mixture of two components. For a better description of short-range interactions of the material with the solid wall, various dynamic boundary…
We present the results of large scale simulations of 4th order nonlinear partial differential equations of dif- fusion type that are typically encountered when modeling dynamics of thin fluid films on substrates. The simulations are based…
In this paper, we study the longtime asymptotic behavior of a phase separation process occurring in a three-dimensional domain containing a fluid flow of given velocity. This process is modeled by a viscous convective Cahn-Hilliard system,…
We prove the global-in-time existence of nonnegative weak solutions to a class of fourth order partial differential equations on a convex bounded domain in arbitrary spatial dimensions. Our proof relies on the formal gradient flow structure…
Differences in activities in colloidal particles are sufficient to drive phase separation between active and passive (or less active) particles, even if they have only excluded volume interactions. In this paper, we study the phase…
The Geometric Thin-Film equation is a mathematical model of droplet spreading in the long-wave limit, which includes a regularization of the contact-line singularity. We show that the weak formulation of the problem, given initial Radon…
The thin-film equation $\partial_t u = -\nabla \cdot (u^n \nabla \Delta u)$ describes the evolution of the height $u=u(x,t)\geq 0$ of a viscous thin liquid film spreading on a flat solid surface. We prove H\"older continuity of…
Consider the thin-film equation $h_t + \left(h h_{yyy}\right)_y = 0$ with a zero contact angle at the free boundary, that is, at the triple junction where liquid, gas, and solid meet. Previous results on stability and well-posedness of this…
Phase equilibria between regions of different thickness in thin liquid films stabilized by colloidal particles are investigated using a quasi-two-dimensional thermodynamic formalism. Appropriate equilibrium conditions for the film tension,…
This fluid dynamics video demonstrates an experiment on superfast thinning of a freestanding thin aqueous film. The production of such films is of fundamental interest for interfacial sciences and the applications in nanoscience. The stable…
We study the evolution of a two component fluid consisting of ``blue'' and ``red'' particles which interact via strong short range (hard core) and weak long range pair potentials. At low temperatures the equilibrium state of the system is…
We consider phase-field models with and without lateral flow for the numerical simulation of lateral phase separation and coarsening in lipid membranes. For the numerical solution of these models, we apply an unfitted finite element method…
