We are concerned with the asymptotics and perturbation analysis of a singular second-order nonlinear ODE that models capillary rise of a fluid inside a narrow vertical tube. We prove the convergence of the exact solution to a unperturbed…

In viscous withdrawal, a converging flow imposed in an upper layer of viscous liquid entrains liquid from a lower, stably stratified layer. Using the idea that a thin tendril is entrained by a local straining flow, we propose a scaling law…

We study the problem of existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to a degenerate quasilinear parabolic non-Newtonian thin-film equation. Originating from a non-Newtonian Navier--Stokes system the equation is derived by lubrication…

We propose a particle-based method to simulate thin-film fluid that jointly facilitates aggressive surface deformation and vigorous tangential flows. We build our dynamics model from the surface tension driven Navier-Stokes equation with…

The equilibrium dynamics of a thin film type II superconductor with spherical geometry are investigated numerically in a simulation based on the lowest Landau level approximation to the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. Both the…

A computer simulation model is proposed to study film growth and surface roughness in aqueous ($A$) solution of hydrophobic ($H$) and hydrophilic ($P$) groups on a simple three dimensional lattice of size $L_x \times L_y \times L_z$ with an…

This study focuses on the modeling and dynamics of gravity-driven, axisymmetric thin liquid film flow along a conical surface. Spatial linear stability analysis is performed on the basis of a Benney-type equation derived for the present…

We study universality in the kinetics of spinodal phase separation in unstable thin liquid films, via simulations of the thin film equation. It is shown that in addition to morphology and free energy,the number density of local maxima in…

Orientational dynamics in a liquid crystalline system near the isotropic-nematic (I-N) phase transition is studied using Molecular Dynamics simulations of the well-known Lebwohl-Lasher (LL) model. As the I-N transition temperature is…

An adhesively stressed thin film of a soft hydrogel confined between two rigid flat substrates auto-roughens with its dominant wavelength exhibiting pronounced dependence on the film thickness (H). A linear stability analysis confirmed that…

A recent paper (Healey et al., J. Nonlin. Sci., 2013, 23:777-805.) predicted the disappearance of the stretch-induced wrinkled pattern of thin, clamped, elastic sheets by numerical simulation of the F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an equations extended…

In this paper, we discuss a particular model arising from sinking of a rigid solid into a thin film of fluid, i.e. a fluid contained between two solid surfaces and part of the fluid surface is in contact with the air. The fluid is governed…

We present a long-wavelength approximation to the Navier-Stokes Cahn-Hilliard equations to describe phase separation in thin films. The equations we derive underscore the coupled behaviour of free-surface variations and phase separation.…

A homogeneous thin polymer film with a stepped height profile levels due to the presence of Laplace pressure gradients. Here we report on studies of polymeric samples with precisely controlled, spatially inhomogeneous molecular weight…

We study the dynamical regimes of a density-stratified fluid confined between isothermal no-slip top and bottom boundaries (at temperatures $T_t$ and $T_b$) via direct numerical simulation. The thermal expansion coefficient of the fluid is…

This study investigates the asymptotic behavior of the steady-state quasi-Newtonian Stokesflow with viscosity given by the Carreau law within a thin domain, focusing on the effects of a slightly rough boundary of the domain. Employing…

We consider the equilibrium of liquid droplets sitting on thin elastic sheets that are subject to a boundary tension and/or are clamped at their edge. We use scaling arguments, together with a detailed analysis based on the…

We consider the thin-film equation $\partial_t h + \nabla \cdot \left(h^2 \nabla \Delta h\right) = 0$ in physical space dimensions (i.e., one dimension in time $t$ and two lateral dimensions with $h$ denoting the height of the film in the…

We study the instability of a thin film composed of two miscible fluids (binary fluid) placed on a solid planar surface. We include the fact that both the free surface and wetting energies depend on the mixture concentration. By assuming a…

Thin liquid films on surfaces are part of our everyday life, they serve e.g. as coatings or lubricants. The stability of a thin layer is governed by interfacial forces, described by the effective interface potential, and has been subject of…
