Linear stability of particle-laden thin films

چکیده
Recent experiments [Zhou, Dupuy, Bertozzi, and Hosoi, Phys. Rev. Lett., 94 (2005)] of particle-laden film flow on an incline demonstrate new behavior distinct from the well-known clear fluid case, including the formation of a particle-rich ridge which can stabilize the advancing contact line with respect to “fingering” perturbations. We consider a model similar to that of Zhou et al. with the additional regularizing effect of shear-induced diffusion. A linear stability analysis demonstrates that particle settling moderately reduces the growth rate of unstable modes, while increasing the most unstable wavelength. (x,y,t) (x,y,t) x z y

Theory for shock dynamics in particle-laden thin films.
We present a theory to explain the emergence of a particle-rich ridge observed experimentally in a thin film particle-laden flow on an incline. We derive a lubrication theory for this system which is qualitatively compared to preliminary experimental data. The ridge formation arises from the creation of two shocks due to the differential transport rates of fluid and particles. This parallels re...

متن کاملNew Sol-Gel Solution with 45 Days Stability for Preparation Silica Thin Films
As we know sol-gel is one of the most important techniques for thin film preparation. In this paper, high transmission silica thin films have been prepared by dip-coating process from a new silicon-alkoxide solution. The prepared sol was stable for 45 days which is very important to characterize the coating process. The optical properties as a function of aging time, withdrawal rate, and he...
متن کاملBuckling of particle-laden interfaces.
In this paper, we investigate the buckling of an oil-water interface populated by micron-sized latex particles using a Langmuir trough. In this work, we extend results of buckling of particle-laden interfaces from the millimeter down to the submicron range while investigating the effect of a different capillary length on the resulting wavelength. The experimental data is compared to the existin...
