Nonlinear dynamics of dewetting thin films

Fluid films spreading on hydrophobic solid surfaces exhibit complicated dynamics that describe transitions leading the films to break up into droplets. For viscous fluids coating hydrophobic solids this process is called “dewetting”. These dynamics can be represented by a lubrication model consistin...
