Hydrodynamic fingering instability of driven wetting films: hindrance by diffusion
Recent experimental and theoretical efforts have revealed the existence of a fingering instability at the moving front of thin liquid films forced to spread under gravitational, rotational or surface shear stresses, as for example by using the Marangoni effect. We describe how the presence of a precursor film in front of the spreading macroscopic film, whether it is by prewetting the substrate ...
متن کاملFingering phenomena for driven coating films
A theoretical and numerical model is formulated to describe the instability and the long-time evolution of both gravity-driven and surface-shear-stress-driven thin coating films. A single evolution equation, of higher-order diffusive type, models the flow for either problem. It is derived using the lubrication approximation. For partially wetting systems, the effect of finite contact angle is i...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Instability of the Heliopause Driven by Plasma -
Results from time-dependent two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the global heliosphere show that drag between the plasma ions and the interstellar neutrals, caused by charge-exchange collisions, causes the heliopause to be hydrodynamically unstable. Both ions and neutrals are treated as uids coupled by charge-exchange collisions. The neutral-ion drag proportional to the plasma density i...
متن کاملDiffusion-Driven Instability in Reaction Diffusion Systems
For a stable matrix A with real entries, sufficient and necessary conditions for A D to be stable for all non-negative diagonal matrices D are obtained. Implications of these conditions for the stability and instability of constant steadystate solutions to reaction diffusion systems are discussed and an example is given to show applications. 2001 Academic Press
متن کاملInterfacial hydrodynamic instabilities driven by cross-diffusion in reverse microemulsions.
When two microemulsions are put in contact in the gravity field along a horizontal contact line, cross-diffusion can trigger the transport of one species in the presence of a gradient in concentration of another species. We show here theoretically that such cross-diffusion effects can induce buoyancy-driven convective instabilities at the interface between two solutions of different composition...
