Spinodal dewetting of thin films with large interfacial slip: implications from the dispersion relation.

We compare the dispersion relations for spinodally dewetting thin liquid films for increasing magnitude of interfacial slip length in the lubrication limit. While the shape of the dispersion relation, in particular the position of the maximum, are equal for no-slip up to moderate-slip lengths, the p...
