We consider the lubrication model for a thin film driven by competing gravitational forces and thermal gradients on an inclined plane. We are interested in the general traveling wave problem when the Navier slip boundary condition is used. We contrast (1) gravity dominated flow, (2) Marangoni dominated flow, and (3) flow in which the two driving effects balance. For a “singular slip” model we s...

The electroviscous effect has been widely studied to investigate the effect of surface charge-induced electric double layers (EDL) on the pressure-driven flow in a micro/nano channel. EDL has been reported to reduce the velocity of fluid flow and increase the fluid drag. Nevertheless, the study on the combined effect of EDL with large zeta potential up to several hundred millivolts and surface ...

Existence of a weak solution for the problem of dynamic frictional contact between a viscoelastic body and a rigid foundation is established. Contact is modelled with the Signorini condition. Friction is described by a slip rate dependent friction coefficient and a nonlocal and regularized contact stress. The existence in the case of a friction coefficient that is a graph, which describes the j...

We consider the variational formulation of both geometrically linear and geometrically nonlinear elasto-plasticity subject to a class of hard single-slip conditions. Such side conditions typically render the associated boundary-value problems non-convex. We show that, for a large class of non-smooth plastic distortions, a given single-slip condition (specification of Burgers vectors) can be rel...

Moving contact lines are implemented in a volume-of-fluid scheme with piecewise linear interface construction. Interfacial tension is treated as a continuous body force, computed from numerical derivatives of a smoothed volume-of-fluid function. Two methods for implementing the contact angle condition are investigated. The first extrapolates the volume-of-fluid function beyond the flow domain, ...
