We study the linear stability of a droplet placed at the center of a horizontal disk under the
effect of surface stress promoted by an axisymmetric thermal gradient. Since the fluid volume …

The work presented in this thesis focuses on the classical problem of gravity-driven thin films
flowing over rigid substrate. Two problems are considered, the formation of rivulets at the …

HIV/AIDS is a growing global pandemic. A microbicide is a formulation of a pharmaceutical
agent suspended in a delivery vehicle, and can be used by women to protect themselves …

Analytical solutions for the shape of both hanging and sitting droplets under the effects of
gravity and surface tension are presented. The modeling also includes the action of …

A thin liquid film flowing down a vertical fiber exhibits complex and captivating interfacial
dynamics of an unsteady flow, including the formation of droplets, irregular traveling waves …

We investigate theoretically the possible final stationary configurations that can be reached
by a laterally confined uniform liquid film inside a container. The liquid is under the action of …

In this paper a two-stage physics-based model has been applied to study the evolution of
plasma produced by high-intensity nanosecond laser ablation in vacuum under external …

This study presents a high-order numerical method based on a uniform mesh in order to
obtain a highly accurate solution to the fourth-order nonlinear degenerate diffusion equation …
