Dynamics of gravity driven three-dimensional thin films on hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned substrates.

We investigate numerically the dynamics of unstable gravity driven three-dimensional thin liquid films on hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned substrates. We explore longitudinally striped and checkerboard arrangements. Simulations show that for longitudinal stripes, the thin film can be guided prefere...
