Macroscopic thin liquid films are entities that are important in biophysics, physics, and
engineering, as well as in natural settings. They can be composed of common liquids such …

Surface-tension-driven flows and, in particular, their tendency to decay spontaneously into
drops have long fascinated naturalists, the earliest systematic experiments dating back to …

The operation of a piezo inkjet printhead involves a chain of processes in many physical
domains at different length scales. The final goal is the formation of droplets of all kinds of …

We consider the viscous motion of an axisymmetric column of fluid with a free surface. The
Navier-Stokes equation forms a singularity as the height of the fluid neck goes to zero. Close …

We consider the viscous motion of a thin axisymmetric column of fluid with a free surface. A
one-dimensional equation of motion for the velocity and the radius is derived from the Navier …

This paper is a review of work on thin fluid films where surface tension is a driving
mechanism. Its aim is to highlight the substantial amount of literature dealing with relevant …

A drop falling from a faucet is a common example of a mass fissioning into two or more
pieces. The shape of the liquid in this situation has been investigated by both experiment …

Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) actuation enables digital (or droplet) microfluidics
where small packets of liquids are manipulated on a two-dimensional surface. Due to its …

We consider the fourth‐order degenerate diffusion equation, h_t=-∇ ⋅ (f (h) ∇ Δ h), in one
space dimension. This equation, derived from a lubrication approximation, models the …

We present a brief review of the application of boundary integral methods in two dimensions
to multicomponent fluid flows and multiphase problems in materials science. We focus on …
