Continuous and discontinuous dynamic unbinding transitions in drawn film flow
arXiv:1311.6994 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.137803
Abstract
When a plate is withdrawn from a liquid bath a coating layer is deposited whose thickness and homogeneity depend on the velocity and the wetting properties of the plate. Using a long-wave mesoscopic hydrodynamic description that incorporates wettability via a Derjaguin (disjoining) pressure we identify four qualitatively different dynamic transitions between microscopic and macroscopic coatings that are out-of-equilibrium equivalents of well known equilibrium unbinding transitions. Namely, these are continuous and discontinuous dynamic emptying transitions and discontinuous and continuous dynamic wetting transitions. We uncover several features that have no equivalent at equilibrium.
