Fluid Dynamics and Thin Films
This is a sourced subject-directory page. Its presence does not mean a factual answer has been researched, or that the subject is a proven knowledge gap.
Scope of this subject
This cluster of papers explores the dynamics, stability, and pattern formation in thin liquid films, with a focus on dewetting phenomena, electric field-induced instabilities, spin coating processes, and solid-state dewetting. The research investigates the influence of various factors such as surface tension, morphology changes, and polymer film behavior.
OpenAlex generated this cluster description with an LLM. It describes research grouping, not verified findings.
