Pinch-off transition in Marangoni-driven thin films.
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a mathematical model and analysis for the pinch-off transition as observed in dip-coating experiments at the base of thin liquid films driven up a vertical plate by a thermally induced surface tension gradient with a counteracting gravitational force. Our results show that this transition gives rise to a complex new wave structure involving a nonclassical, reverse undercompressive shock wave.

“ Marginal pinching ” in soap films
– We discuss the behaviour of a thin soap film facing a frame element: the pressure in the Plateau border around the frame is lower than the film pressure, and the film thins out over a certain distance λ(t), due to the formation of a well-localized pinched region of thickness h(t) and extension w(t). We construct a hydrodynamic theory for this thinning process, assuming a constant surface tens...
متن کاملEngineering flow states with localized forcing in a thin Marangoni-driven inclined film.
Numerical simulations of lubrication models provide clues for experimentalists about the development of wave structures in thin liquid films. We analyze numerical simulations of a lubrication model for an inclined thin liquid film modified by Marangoni forces due to a thermal gradient and additional localized forcing heating the substrate. Numerical results can be explained through connections ...
متن کاملEffects of Localized Forcing on Driven Thin Liquid Films
Thin liquid films driven up an inclined plane by temperature-induced surface tension gradients have been the focus of extensive mathematical and experimental research. Using the lubrication approximation, the motion of a thin liquid film is described by a single fourth-order partial differential equation (PDE) that models the evolution of the height of the film. Such films are now known to exhi...

An experimental study over the optical response of thin MoS2 films grownby chemical bath deposition (CBD) method is presented. As two important factors, theeffect of bath temperature and growth time are considered on the photocurrentgeneration in the grown samples. The results show that increasing the growth time leadsto better optical response and higher difference betw...
متن کاملReverse undercompressive shock structures in driven thin film flow.
We show experimental and computational evidence of a new structure: an undercompressive and reverse undercompressive shock for draining films driven by a surface tension gradient against gravity. The reverse undercompressive shock is unstable to transverse perturbations while the leading undercompressive shock is stable. Depending on the pinch-off film thickness, as controlled by the meniscus, ...
