Interplay of viscosity and surface tension for ripple formation by laser melting

K. Morawetz, S. Trinschek, E. L. Gurevich

A model for ripple formation on liquid surfaces exposed to an external laser or particle beam and a variable ground is developed. The external incident beam is hereby mechanically…

Thin-Film Modelling of Resting and Moving Active Droplets

Sarah Trinschek, Fenna Stegemerten, Karin John +1

We propose a generic model for thin films and shallow drops of a polar active liquid that have a free surface and are in contact with a solid substrate. The model couples evolution…

Modelling of surfactant-driven front instabilities in spreading bacterial colonies

Sarah Trinschek, Karin John, Uwe Thiele

The spreading of bacterial colonies at solid-air interfaces is determined by the physico-chemical properties of the involved interfaces. The production of surfactant molecules by b…

Equilibrium contact angle and adsorption layer properties with surfactants

Uwe Thiele, Jacco H. Snoeijer, Sarah Trinschek +1

The three-phase contact line of a droplet on a smooth surface can be characterized by the Young-Dupré equation. It relates the interfacial energies with the macroscopic contact ang…

Persistent vs. arrested spreading of biofilms at solid-gas interfaces - the role of surface forces

Sarah Trinschek, Karin John, Sigolène Lecuyer +1

We introduce and analyze a model for osmotically spreading biofilm colonies at solid-air interfaces that includes wetting phenomena, i.e. surface forces. The model combines a hydro…

From a thin film model for passive suspensions towards the description of osmotic biofilm spreading

Sarah Trinschek, Karin John, Uwe Thiele

Biofilms are ubiquitous macro-colonies of bacteria that develop at various interfaces (solid-liquid, solid-gas or liquid-gas). The formation of biofilms starts with the attachment…
