The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

The free surface of a thin soft polymer film is often found to become unstable and self-
organizes into various meso-scale structures. In this article we classify the instability of a thin …

This monograph provides a detailed review of the state-of-the-art theoretical (analytical and
numerical) methodologies for the analysis of dissipative wave dynamics and pattern …

Interfacial Phenomena and Convection is a self-contained monograph that examines a rich
variety of phenomena in which interfaces play a crucial role. From a unified perspective that …

Hydrodynamic pattern formation (PF) and dewetting resulting from pulsed-laser-induced
melting of nanoscopic metal films have been used to create spatially ordered metal …

Metal nanostructures are, nowadays, extensively used in applications such as catalysis,
electronics, sensing, optoelectronics and others. These applications require the possibility to …

The interfacial convection in multilayer systems is a widespread phenomenon that is of great
importance in numerous branches of technology, including chemical engineering, space …

We have observed nanopattern formation with robust and controllable spatial ordering by
laser-induced dewetting in nanoscopic metal films. Pattern evolution in Co film of thickness …

Electrostatic field induced instability, morphology, and patterning of a thin liquid film confined
between two electrodes with an air gap are studied on the basis of nonlinear 3D simulations …

When a simple or complex liquid recedes from a smooth solid substrate it often leaves a
homogeneous or structured deposit behind. In the case of a receding non-volatile pure …
