Instabilities of thin wetting films show different dewetting dynamics when supported by
different solid substrates. Unstable thin films on the homogeneous substrate are studied …

Boundary conditions at a liquid–solid interface are crucial to dynamics of a liquid film coated
on a fibre. Here, a theoretical framework based on axisymmetric Stokes equations is …

This research investigates the mixed lubrication of anisotropic non-Gaussian rough
surfaces. An adaptive fluid Reynolds equation is proposed, which takes into account …

Lubricating oil is usually injected in the gap between mechanical interfaces to reduce the
friction and wear and improve the normal bearing capacity of the interface. The state of the …

The dewetting of thin nanofilms is significantly affected by thermal fluctuations, liquid–solid
slip and disjoining pressure, which can be described by lubrication equations augmented by …

A mathematical model is established to investigate a vertical gravity-driven drainage flow
containing a soluble surfactant when considering the effect of wall slip. The lubrication …

To investigate the influence of inertia and slip on the instability of a liquid film on a fibre, a
theoretical framework based on the axisymmetric Navier–Stokes equations is proposed via …

Coating thin liquid films with complex rheological behaviour on permeable substrates is
often an important requirement in several applications such as contact lenses, textiles, and …

We report a theoretical and numerical investigation of the linear and nonlinear dynamics of a
thin liquid film of viscosity μ sandwiched between a solid substrate and an unbounded liquid …

Viscoelastic instabilities in polymer melts can be mitigated using polymer processing aids
(PPAs) that impose slip between melts and substrates. In this study, the effect of a newly …
