Linear stability of a ridge

We investigate the stability of the three-phase contact-line of a thin liquid ridge on a hydrophobic substrate for flow driven by surface tension and van der Waals forces. We study the role of slippage in the emerging instability at the three-phase contact-line by comparing the lubrication models fo...

Zusammenfassung:We investigate the stability of the three-phase contact-line of a thin liquid ridge on a hydrophobic substrate for flow driven by surface tension and van der Waals forces. We study the role of slippage in the emerging instability at the three-phase contact-line by comparing the lubrication models for no-slip and slip-dominated conditions at the liquid/substrate interface. For both cases we derive a sharp-interface model via matched asymptotic expansions and derive the eigenvalues from a linear stability analysis of the respective reduced models. We compare our asymptotic results with the eigenvalues obtained numerically for the full lubrication models.
