Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

The extent of a droplet's spreading over a flat, smooth solid substrate and its equilibrium
height in the presence of gravity are determined approximately, without a numerical solution …

Nanolithographically patterned copper rings were synthesized, and the self-assembly of the
rings into ordered nanoparticle/nanodrop arrays was accomplished via nanosecond pulsed …

We study the thermocapillary migration of two-dimensional droplets of partially wetting
liquids on a non-uniform heated substrate. An equation for the thickness profile of the droplet …

The electrowetting behavior of a charge-carrying sessile droplet is relevant to applications
such as point-of-care diagnostics. Often biomedical assays involve droplets that contain …

In the present work, within the framework of thin film theory, we delineate the interaction
between the interfacial dynamics of thermal Marangoni flow and non-Newtonian rheology by …

We study steady-state thin films on chemically heterogeneous substrates of finite size,
subject to no-flux boundary conditions. Based on the structure of the bifurcation diagram, we …

We study the thermocapillary migration of two-dimensional droplets of partially wetting
liquids on a non-uniformly heated surface. The effect of a non-zero contact angle is imposed …

The stability of ultrathin (< 100 nm) polymer films is essential in applications like protective
coatings. On the contrary, their instability may actually be desirable for the emergence of self …

A model is formulated for a static puddle on a horizontal substrate taking account of
capillarity, gravity and disjoining pressure arising from molecular interactions. There are …
