Weakly Nonlinear Stability Analysis of a Thin Magnetic Fluid during Spin Coating

This paper investigates the stability of a thin electrically conductive fluid under an applied uniform magnetic filed during spin coating. A generalized nonlinear kinematic model is derived by the long-wave perturbation method to represent the physical system. After linearizing the nonlinear evoluti...
