Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

Macroscopic thin liquid films are entities that are important in biophysics, physics, and
engineering, as well as in natural settings. They can be composed of common liquids such …

Interfacial Phenomena and Convection is a self-contained monograph that examines a rich
variety of phenomena in which interfaces play a crucial role. From a unified perspective that …

Microscopic fluidic devices, ranging from surgical endoscopes and microelectromechanical
systems to the commercial 'lab-on-a-chip'(ref.), allow chemical analysis and synthesis on …

The flow of granular materials on inclined planes is of interest within the contexts of both
industrial processing of powders and geophysical instabilities such as landslides and …

Fluid flowing down an inclined plane commonly exhibits a fingering instability in which the
contact line corrugates. We show that below a critical inclination angle the base state before …

The interfacial convection in multilayer systems is a widespread phenomenon that is of great
importance in numerous branches of technology, including chemical engineering, space …

The stability of the moving contact line is examined for both Newtonian and viscoelastic
fluids. Two methods for relieving the contact line singularity are chosen: matching the free …

Equations of the type ht+ (h2− h3) x=− ϵ3 (h3hxxx) x arise in the context of thin liquid films
driven by the competing effects of a thermally induced surface tension gradient and gravity …
