Effects of spatially-varying substrate anchoring on instabilities and dewetting of thin Nematic Liquid Crystal films
M. Lam, L. Kondic, L. Cummings
Partially wetting nematic liquid crystal (NLC) films on substrates are unstable to dewetting-type instabilities due to destablizing solid/NLC interaction forces. These instabilitie…
Computing dynamics of thin films via large scale GPU-based simulations
Michael-Angelo Y. -H. Lam, Linda J. Cummings, Lou Kondic
We present the results of large scale simulations of 4th order nonlinear partial differential equations of dif- fusion type that are typically encountered when modeling dynamics of…
Stability of thin fluid films characterised by a complex form of structural/effective disjoining pressure
Michael-Angelo Y. -H. Lam, Linda J. Cummings, Lou Kondic
We discuss instabilities of fluid films of nanoscale thickness, with a particular focus on films where the destabilising mechanism allows for linear instability, metastability, and…
