Recent experiments of thin films flowing down a vertical fiber with varying nozzle diameters present a wealth of new dynamics that illustrate the need for more advanced theory. We present a detailed analysis using a full lubrication model that includes slip boundary conditions, nonlinear curvature terms, and a film stabilization term. This study brings to focus the presence of a stable liquid layer playing an important role in the full dynamics. We propose a combination of these physical effects to explain the observed velocity and stability of traveling droplets in the experiments and their transition to isolated droplets. This is also supported by stability analysis of the traveling wave solution of the model.

A thin liquid film falling on a uniformly heated horizontal plate spreads into fingering ripples that can display a complex dynamics ranging from continuous waves, nonlinear spatially localized periodic wave patterns (i.e. rivulet structures) to modu
lated nonlinear wavetrain structures. Some of these structures have been observed experimentally, however conditions under which they form are still not well understood. In this work we examine profiles of nonlinear wave patterns formed by a thin liquid film falling on a uniformly heated horizonal plate. In this purpose, the Benney model is considered assuming a uniform temperature distribution along the film propagation on the horizontal surface. It is shown that for strong surface tension but relatively small Biot number, spatially localized periodic-wave structures can be analytically obtained by solving the governing equation under appropriate conditions. In the regime of weak nonlinearity, a multiple-scale expansion combined with the reductive perturbation method leads to a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, the solutions of which are modulated periodic pulse trains which amplitude, width and period are expressed in terms of characteristic parameters of the model.
We present the results of large scale simulations of 4th order nonlinear partial differential equations of dif- fusion type that are typically encountered when modeling dynamics of thin fluid films on substrates. The simulations are based on the alte
rnate direction implicit (ADI) method, with the main part of the compu- tational work carried out in the GPU computing environment. Efficient and accurate computations allow for simulations on large computational domains in three spatial dimensions (3D) and for long computational times. We apply the methods developed to the particular problem of instabilities of thin fluid films of nanoscale thickness. The large scale of the simulations minimizes the effects of boundaries, and also allows for simulating domains of the size encountered in published experiments. As an outcome, we can analyze the development of instabilities with an unprecedented level of detail. A particular focus is on analyzing the manner in which instability develops, in particular regarding differences between spinodal and nucleation types of dewetting for linearly unstable films, as well as instabilities of metastable films. Simulations in 3D allow for consideration of some recent results that were previously obtained in the 2D geometry (J. Fluid Mech. 841, 925 (2018)). Some of the new results include using Fourier transforms as well as topological invariants (Betti numbers) to distinguish the outcomes of spinodal and nucleation types of instabilities, describing in precise terms the complex processes that lead to the formation of satellite drops, as well as distinguishing the shape of the evolving film front in linearly unstable and metastable regimes. We also discuss direct comparison between simulations and available experimental results for nematic liquid crystal and polymer films.
We consider a free surface thin film placed on a thermally conductive substrate and exposed to an external heat source in a setup where the heat absorption depends on the local film thickness. Our focus is on modeling film evolution while the film is
molten. The evolution of the film modifies local heat flow, which in turn may influence the film surface evolution through thermal variation of the films material properties. Thermal conductivity of the substrate plays an important role in determining the heat flow and the temperature field in the evolving film and in the substrate itself. In order to reach a tractable formulation, we use asymptotic analysis to develop a novel thermal model that is accurate, computationally efficient, and that accounts for the heat flow in both the in-plane and out-of plane directions. We apply this model to metal films of nanoscale thickness exposed to heating and melting by laser pulses, a setup commonly used for self and directed assembly of various metal geometries via dewetting while the films are in the liquid phase. We find that thermal effects play an important role, and in particular that the inclusion of temperature dependence in the metal viscosity modifies the time scale of the evolution significantly. On the other hand, in the considered setup the Marangoni (thermocapillary) effect turns out to be insignificant.
Recent experimental observations have demonstrated interesting instability phenomenon during thermal drawing of microstructured glass/polymer fibers, and these observations motivate us to examine surface-tension-driven instabilities in concentric cyl
indrical shells of viscous fluids. In this paper, we focus on a single instability mechanism: classical capillary instabilities in the form of radial fluctuations, solving the full Navier--Stokes equations numerically. In equal-viscosity cases where an analytical linear theory is available, we compare to the full numerical solution and delineate the regime in which the linear theory is valid. We also consider unequal-viscosity situations (similar to experiments) in which there is no published linear theory, and explain the numerical results with a simple asymptotic analysis. These results are then applied to experimental thermal drawing systems. We show that the observed instabilities are consistent with radial-fluctuation analysis, but cannot be predicted by radial fluctuations alone---an additional mechanism is required. We show how radial fluctuations alone, however, can be used to analyze various candidate material systems for thermal drawing, clearly ruling out some possibilities while suggesting others that have not yet been considered in experiments.
The present study aims to investigate the motion of buoyant rings in vertical soap films. Thickness differences and related bi-dimensional densities are considered as the motor leading to bi-dimensional buoyancy. We show how this effect can be re-int
erpreted thanks to surface tension profiles in soap films. We propose a model involving surface tension profiles in order to describe the motion of buoyant particles in vertical soap films, and compare it to experimental data.
