In recent years, slippery surfaces have attracted significant interest due to their excellent liquid-repellent properties and their potential in diverse commercial applications. Such surfaces are prepared by coating functionalized solid…

We investigate the wrinkling dynamics of a thin elastic sheet that is indented or compressed while floating on a viscous liquid. We show that the deformation speed controls the dynamics, leading to a wrinkle wavelength significantly smaller…

The dynamics of an adhesive two-dimensional vesicle doublet under various flow conditions is investigated numerically using a high-order, adaptive-in-time boundary integral method. In a quiescent flow, two nearby vesicles move slowly…

The processing of thin-structured materials in a fluidic environment, from nearly inextensible but flexible graphene sheets to highly extensible polymer films, arises in many applications. So far, little is known about the dynamics of such…

The dynamics of thin films on a horizontal solid substrate is investigated in the case of non-Newtonian fluids exhibiting normal stress differences, the rheology of which is strongly non-linear. Two coupled equations of evolution for the…

In simulations and experiments, we study the drying of films containing mixtures of large and small colloidal particles in water. During drying, the mixture stratifies into a layer of the larger particles at the bottom with a layer of the…

The linear dispersion relation for longwave surface perturbations, as derived by Levine et al. Phys. Rev. B 75, 205312 (2007) is extended to include a smooth surface energy anisotropy function with a variable anisotropy strength (from weak…

Gravitational settling of a droplet in air onto a soft substrate is a ubiquitous event relevant to many natural processes and engineering applications. We study this phenomenon by developing a three-phase lubrication model of droplet…

We consider two thin layers of immiscible liquids on a heated solid horizontal substrate. The free liquid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces of such a two-layer (or bilayer) liquid film may be unstable due to effective molecular interactions…

The hydrodynamic interaction of two deformable vesicles in shear flow induces a net displacement, in most cases an increase of their distance in the transverse direction. The statistical average of these interactions leads to shear-induced…

In a recent letter (Denkov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 100 (2008) p. 138301) we calculated theoretically the macroscopic viscous stress of steadily sheared foam/emulsion from the energy dissipated inside the transient planar films,…

We consider thin fluid films placed on thermally conductive substrates and exposed to time-dependent spatially uniform heat source. The evolution of the films is considered within the long-wave framework in the regime such that both…

The macroscopic properties of polymeric fluids are inherited from the material properties of the fibers embedded in the solvent. The behavior of such passive fibers in flow has been of interest in a wide range of systems, including cellular…

The dynamics of a thin layer of liquid, between a flat solid substrate and an infinitely-thick layer of saturated vapor, is examined. The liquid and vapor are two phases of the same fluid, governed by the diffuse-interface model. The…

Understanding the rolling and adhesion behavior of a cell on the vascular surface under viscous shear flow is important to better understand many biological processes. One of the important examples is the adhesion of the leukocytes onto…

We examine the dynamics of a thin film formed by a distributed liquid source on a vertical solid wall. The model is derived using the lubrication approximation and includes the effects of gravity, upward airflow and surface tension. When…

The hydrodynamic stability behaviour of a two-layer falling film is explored with a floating flexible plate on the top surface. The stress balance at the surface is modeled using a modified membrane equation. There is an insoluble…

Dynamics of spreading of viscous non - volatile fluid droplets on surfaces is modelled using a solid - on - solid model, which is studied with Monte Carlo simulations. Tendency for dynamical layering and surface attraction are in part…

Droplet impact on thin liquid films is commonly studied on quiescent surfaces, although practical systems often involve residual capillary waves generated by preceding droplets. This study examines how such traveling waves modify impact…

We consider shear wave propagation in soft viscoelastic solids of rate type. Based on objective stress rates, the constitutive model accounts for finite strain, incompressibility, as well as stress- and strain-rate viscoelasticity. The…
