Fingering 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 کاملFingering instability of a sheet of yield-stress fluid.
We study the fingering instability that occurs at the contact line of a thin sheet of a yield-stress fluid flowing down an incline. We derive an expression for the wavelength of the finger pattern as a function of inclination angle for a Herschel-Bulkley fluid. The wavelength is predicted to diverge at a finite angle which is related to the yield stress of the fluid. We also measure the wavelen...
متن کاملExperimental study of a surfactant-driven fingering phenomenon in a Hele-Shaw cell
We present an experimental study of a new surfactant-driven fingering phenomenon in a Hele-Shaw cell. First, the threshold of instability is examined and compared with the linear theory. Second, the nonlinear evolution of fingering is quantified, and steady and unsteady patterns are distinguished. A wide range of dynamical behaviour is observed from drifting and merging fingers to cusp formatio...
متن کاملOn a new surfactant-driven fingering phenomenon in a Hele-Shaw cell
According to the Saffman–Taylor criterion there is no instability when a more viscous fluid is displacing a less viscous one in a Hele-Shaw cell. Yet an instability was observed experimentally (Chan et al. 1997) in the same classical set-up but with the inner walls of the cell coated with surfactant solution. Linear stability analysis is applied to reveal the basic mechanism of this new instabi...
متن کاملHydrodynamic 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 ...
