Patterned deposition at moving contact lines

U Thiele - Advances in colloid and interface science, 2014 - Elsevier
When a simple or complex liquid recedes from a smooth solid substrate it often leaves a
homogeneous or structured deposit behind. In the case of a receding non-volatile pure …

developed for describing the dynamics of the one-body density of both colloidal and atomic …

Thin film evolution equations from (evaporating) dewetting liquid layers to epitaxial growth

U Thiele - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
In the present contribution we review basic mathematical results for three physical systems
involving self-organizing solid or liquid films at solid surfaces. The films may undergo a …

Binding potential and wetting behavior of binary liquid mixtures on surfaces

M Areshi, D Tseluiko, U Thiele, BD Goddard, AJ Archer - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
We present a theory for the interfacial wetting phase behavior of binary liquid mixtures on
rigid solid substrates, applicable to both miscible and immiscible mixtures. In particular, we …

Gradient dynamics models for liquid films with soluble surfactant

U Thiele, AJ Archer, LM Pismen - Physical Review Fluids, 2016 - APS
In this paper we propose equations of motion for the dynamics of liquid films of surfactant
suspensions that consist of a general gradient dynamics framework based on an underlying …

Stability analysis of thin film flow along a heated porous wall

U Thiele, B Goyeau, MG Velarde - Physics of Fluids, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
The time evolution of a thin liquid film flowing down a heated solid porous substrate is
investigated. Using the Navier–Stokes and Darcy–Brinkman equations in the film and the …

Phase field approach to multiphase flow modeling

AG Lamorgese, D Molin, R Mauri - Milan Journal of Mathematics, 2011 - Springer
We review the phase field (otherwise called diffuse interface) model for fluid flows, where all
quantities, such as density and composition, are assumed to vary continuously in space …

Modelling the formation of structured deposits at receding contact lines of evaporating solutions and suspensions

Ľ Fraštia, AJ Archer, U Thiele - Soft Matter, 2012 - pubs.rsc.org
When a film of a liquid suspension of nanoparticles or a polymer solution is deposited on a
surface, it may dewet from the surface and as the solvent evaporates the solute …
