We prove well-posedness, partial regularity, and stability of the thin-film equation $h_t + (m(h) h_{zzz})_z = 0$ with general mobility $m(h) = h^n$ and mobility exponent $n\in (1,\tfrac{3}{2})\cup (\tfrac{3}{2},3)$ in the regime of perfect…
Our recent quasi-two-dimensional thermodynamic description of thin-liquid films stabilized by colloidal particles is generalized to describe nonuniform equilibrium states of films in external potentials and nonequilibrium transport…
A thin film on a horizontal solid substrate and coated with a soluble surfactant is considered. The governing degenerate parabolic equations for the film height and the surfactant concentrations on the surface and in the bulk are derived…
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,…
The large-time behavior of solutions to the thin film equation with linear mobility in the complete wetting regime on $\mathbb{R}^N$ is examined: We investigate the higher order asymptotics of solutions converging towards self-similar…
We consider an equation for a thin-film of fluid on a rotating cylinder and present several new analytical and numerical results on steady state solutions. First, we provide an elementary proof that both weak and classical steady states…
We consider a power-law thin-film equation for strongly shear-thinning fluids. Weak solutions to this equation have been constructed more than twenty years ago by Ansini and Giacomelli. Here, we pass over to analyzing strong solutions with…
We investigate stationary solutions of a thin-film model for liquid two-layer flows in an energetic formulation that is motivated by its gradient flow structure. The goal is to achieve a rigorous understanding of the contact-angle…
The stability of an evaporating thin liquid film on a solid substrate is investigated within lubrication theory. The heat flux due to evaporation induces thermal gradients; the generated Marangoni stresses are accounted for. Assuming the…
We study the steady states and dynamics of a thin film-type equation with non-conserved mass in one dimension. The evolution equation is a nonlinear fourth-order degenerate parabolic PDE motivated by a model of volatile viscous fluid films…
The objective of the present work is to provide a well-posedness result for a capillary driven thin film equation with insoluble surfactant. The resulting parabolic system of evolution equations is not only strongly coupled and degenerated,…
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of stability and long-time behaviour of a coupled system constituted by two rigid bodies separated by a thin layer of lubricant. We show that permanent rotations of the whole system, with the…
This paper studies the existence and asymptotic behavior of global weak solutions for a thin film equation with insoluble surfactant under the influence of gravitational, capillary and van der Waals forces. We prove the existence of global…
In this thesis, we consider the thin-film equation with nonlinear surface tension term in one space dimension. Relying on the corresponding energy and entropy estimates, we prove existence of weak solutions as well as nonnegativity results.
We prove existence of martingale solutions to a class of stochastic thin-film equations for mobility exponents $n \in (2,3)$ and compactly supported initial data. With the perspective to study free-boundary problems related to stochastic…
This paper presents finite-time and fixed-time stabilization results for inhomogeneous abstract evolution problems, extending existing theories. We prove well-posedness for strong and weak solutions, and estimate upper bounds for settling…
We study a class of fourth-order quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations under both time-and space-dependent and time-and space-independent forces, modeling non-Newtonian thin-film flow over a solid surface in the "complete wetting"…
We consider the stochastic thin-film equation with linear deterministic and stochastic It\^o perturbations. The existence of nonnegative weak martingale solutions on the semi-axis is established, and their asymptotic behavior as $t \to…
We construct solutions to the stochastic thin-film equation with quadratic mobility and Stratonovich gradient noise in the physically relevant dimension $d=2$ and allow in particular for solutions with non-full support. The construction…
We consider the evaporation of a thin liquid layer which consists of a binary mixture of volatile liquids. The mixture is on top of a heated substrate and in contact with the gas phase that consists of the same vapour as the binary mixture.…
