The spreading of surfactants on thin films is an industrially and medically important phenomenon, but the dynamics are highly nonlinear and visualization of the surfactant dynamics has been a long-standing experimental challenge. We perform…
The spreading dynamics of surfactant molecules on a thin fluid layer is of both fundamental and practical interest. A mathematical model formulated by Gaver and Grotberg 1990 describing the spreading of a single layer of insoluble…
Spreading of liquid thin film driven by surfactant due to the Marangoni effect is described using a coupled system of second-order partial differential equations. Lie group of transformation are used to obtain the symmetries of the given…
We investigate the dynamics of an insoluble surfactant on the surface of a thin viscous fluid spreading inward to fill a surfactant-free region. During the initial stages of surfactant self-healing, Marangoni forces drive an axisymmetric…
When surface-active molecules are released at a liquid interface, their spreading dynamics is controlled by Marangoni flows. Though such Marangoni spreading was investigated in different limits, exact solutions remain very few. Here we…
The paper focuses on a model describing the spreading of an insoluble surfactant on a thin viscous film with capillary effects taken into account. The governing equation for the film height is degenerate parabolic of fourth order and…
Isogeometric analysis was applied very successfully to many problem classes like linear elasticity, heat transfer and incompressible flow problems but its application to compressible flows is very rare. However, its ability to accurately…
We propose a new discontinuous Galerkin Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) technique for the numerical solution of elliptic diffusion problems in computational domains decomposed into volumetric patches with non-matching interfaces. Due to an…
The Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) of boundary value problems in complex domains often requires a decomposition of the computational domain into patches such that each of which can be parametrized by the so-called geometrical mapping. In this…
Bringing the interfaces of two miscible fluids into contact naturally generates strong gradients in surface tension. Here we investigate such a Marangoni-driven flow by continuously supplying isopropyl alcohol (IPA) on a film of water,…
In this article, we discuss the numerical solution of diffusion equations on random surfaces within the isogeometric framework. We describe in detail, how diffusion problems on random surfaces can be modelled and how quantities of interest…
The Marangoni flow induced by an insoluble surfactant on a fluid-fluid interface is a fundamental problem investigated extensively due to its implications in colloid science, biology, the environment, and industrial applications. Here, we…
We propose an Isogeometric approach for smoothing on surfaces, namely estimating a function starting from noisy and discrete measurements. More precisely, we aim at estimating functions lying on a surface represented by NURBS, which are…
We study the spreading of viscous drops on a solid substrate, taking into account the effects of thermal fluctuations in the fluid momentum. A nonlinear stochastic lubrication equation is derived, and studied using numerical simulations and…
Nonlinear diffusion-reaction systems model a multitude of physical phenomena. A common situation is biological development modeling where such systems have been widely used to study spatiotemporal phenomena in cell biology. Systems of…
Successive drops of coloured ink mixed with surfactant are deposited onto a thin film of water to create marbling patterns in the Japanese art technique of Suminagashi. To understand the physics behind this and other applications where…
This paper exploits the theory of geometric gradient flows to introduce an alternative regularization of the thin-film equation. The solution properties of this regularization are investigated via a sequence of numerical simulations whose…
Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) is a computational technique for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations (PDEs). This technique is based on the use of spline-type basis functions, that are able to hold a global smoothness…
Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a numerical method that connects computer-aided design (CAD) with finite element analysis (FEA). In CAD the computational domain is usually represented by B-spline or NURBS patches. Given a NURBS…
We extend the softFEM idea to isogeometric analysis (IGA) to reduce the stiffness (consequently, the condition numbers) of the IGA discretized problem. We refer to the resulting approximation technique as softIGA. We obtain the resulting…
