Computational Simulation of Fluid Dynamics in Thin Films
We investigate the formation of droplets in a thin liquid film on a solid substrate due to the combined action of surface tension and van der Waals forces. Current models for droplet formation assume that droplets have a shallow profile. By removing that assumption and numerically solving for stable...
