Abstract:Instabilities and pattern formation in viscous fluids have been a major topic of non-linear fluid dynamics for several decades. The study of pattern formation in viscoelastic thin films offers the opportunity to find new fascinating structures that cannot be observed in viscous fluids. Rayleigh–Taylor and Faraday instabilities, such as the resulting patterns in thin films of viscoelastic fluids, are investigated. We use the long-wave approximation and a Karman–Pohlhausen approach to simplify the mass and momen… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
