Influence of slip on the Plateau–Rayleigh instability on a fibre
Abstract The Plateau–Rayleigh instability of a liquid column underlies a variety of fascinating
phenomena that can be observed in everyday life. In contrast to the case of a free liquid …

Signatures of slip in dewetting polymer films
Thin polymer films on hydrophobic substrates are susceptible to rupture and hole formation.
This, in turn, initiates a complex dewetting process, which ultimately leads to characteristic …

Thin films in partial wetting: stability, dewetting and coarsening
A uniform nanometric thin liquid film on a solid substrate can become unstable due to the
action of van der Waals (vdW) forces. The instability leads to dewetting of the uniform film …

Marangoni-driven spreading and receding of a volatile droplet on a liquid layer
When releasing a droplet onto a distinct nonmiscible liquid layer, for positive spreading
parameter S, a surface tension driven spreading arises. Here, for positive S, we report the …

Thermal capillary wave growth and surface roughening of nanoscale liquid films
The well-known thermal capillary wave theory, which describes the capillary spectrum of the
free surface of a liquid film, does not reveal the transient dynamics of surface waves, eg the …
