The effect of wall slip on the dewetting of ultrathin films on solid substrates: Linear instability and second-order lubrication theory (2005.06263v2)

Published 13 May 2020 in physics.flu-dyn and cond-mat.soft

Abstract: The influence of wall slip on the instability of a non-wetting liquid film placed on a solid substrate is analyzed in the limit of negligible inertia. In particular, we focus on the stability properties of the film, comparing the performance of the three lubrication models available in the literature, namely the weak, intermediate and strong slip models, with the Stokes equations. Since none of the aforementioned leading-order lubrication models is shown to be able to predict the growth rate of perturbations for the whole range of slipping lengths, we develop a parabolic model able to accurately predict the linear dynamics of the film for arbitrary slip lengths.
