Flow in thin films is highly dependent on the boundary conditions. Here, we study the capillary levelling of thin bilayer films composed of two immiscible liquids. Specifically, a stepped polymer layer is placed atop another, flat polymer…

A deterministic theory describing the melting of an ultrathin lubricant film between two atomically smooth solid surfaces has been developed. The lubricant state is described by introducing a parameter of excess volume that arises owing to…

In binary mixtures, the lifetimes of surface bubbles can be five orders of magnitude longer than those in pure liquids because of slightly different compositions of the bulk and the surfaces, leading to a thickness-dependent surface tension…

A thin water film on a cleaved mica substrate undergoes a first order phase transition between two values of film thickness. By inducing a finite evaporation rate of the water, the interface between the two phases develops a fingering…

The properties of decaying turbulence is studied with the help of a Generalized Hydrodynamic (GHD) fluid model in the context of two dimensional visco - elastic medium such as a strongly coupled dusty plasma system. For the incompressible…

Motivated by problems arising in tear film dynamics, we present a model for the extensional flow of thin sheets of nematic liquid crystal. The rod-like molecules of these substances impart an elastic contribution to its response. We rescale…

A recent study has demonstrated that phase separation in binary liquid mixtures is arrested in the presence of elastic networks and can lead to a nearly uniformly-sized distribution of the dilute-phase droplets. At longer timescales, these…

In capillary-driven fluid dynamics, simple departures from equilibrium offer the chance to quantitatively model the resulting relaxations. These dynamics in turn provide insight on both practical and fundamental aspects of thin-film…

We investigate the rate-dependent fracture of vitrimers by conducting a tear test. Based on the relationship between the frac-ture energy and the thickness of vitrimer films, we, for the first time, obtain the intrinsic fracture energy and…

In the past twenty years, shear-banding flows have been probed by various techniques, such as rheometry, velocimetry and flow birefringence. In micellar solutions, many of the data collected exhibit unexplained spatio-temporal fluctuations.…

This paper presents the first MD simulations of a model, which we have designed for understanding the development of electro-induced instability of a thin toluene emulsion film in contact with saline aqueous phase. This study demonstrates…

The fluid dynamics of the classical dewetting instability in ultrathin films is a non-linear process. However, the physical manifestation of the instability in terms of characteristic length and time scales can be described by a linearized…

Experiments of particle-laden inclined film flow [Zhou, Dupuy, Bertozzi, and Hosoi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (2005)] have displayed different settling behaviors depending on the particle concentration $\phi$ and angle of inclination $\theta$, in…

Turbulent emulsions are complex physical systems characterized by a strong and dynamical coupling between small-scale droplets and large-scale rheology. By using a specifically designed Taylor-Couette (TC) shear flow system, we are able to…

The hydrodynamic phase field model is applied to the problem of film spreading on a solid surface. The disjoining potential, responsible for modification of the fluid properties near a three-phase contact line, is computed from the…

Thin liquid films are ubiquitous in natural phenomena and technological applications. They have been extensively studied via deterministic hydrodynamic equations, but thermal fluctuations often play a crucial role that needs to be…

Mathematical models and numerical simulations offer a non-invasive way to explore cardiovascular phenomena, providing access to quantities that cannot be measured directly. In this study, we start with a one-dimensional multiscale blood…

When a liquid flows down a vertical tube at a low flowrate, it may not be able to completely cover the surface as a film, and the flow will comprise a number of rivulets separated by unwetted areas. Predictions of the minimum film thickness…

Thermal photons from the photosphere may be the primary source of the observed prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In order to produce the observed non-thermal spectra, some kind of dissipation mechanism near the photosphere is…

Mathematical modelling is used to examine the unsteady problem of heating and pulling an axisymmetric cylindrical glass tube with an over-pressure applied within the tube to form tapers with a near uniform bore and small wall thickness at…
