Vesicle formation induced by thermal fluctuations
Andreu F. Gallen, J. Roberto Romero-Arias, Rafael A. Barrio +1
The process of fission and vesicle formation depends on the geometry of the membrane that will split. For instance, a flat surface finds it difficult to form vesicles because of th…
Theory of wetting-induced fluid entrainment by advancing contact lines on dry surfaces
Rodrigo Ledesma-Aguilar, Aurora Hernández-Machado, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
We report on the onset of fluid entrainment when a contact line is forced to advance over a dry solid of arbitrary wettability. We show that entrainment occurs at a critical advanc…
Growth saturation of unstable thin films on transverse-striped hydrophilic-hydrophobic micropatterns
Rodrigo Ledesma-Aguilar, Aurora Hernandez-Machado, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Using three-dimensional numerical simulations, we demonstrate the growth saturation of an unstable thin liquid film on micropatterned hydrophilic-hydrophobic substrates. We conside…
Activity statistics, avalanche kinetics, and velocity correlations in surface growth
Juan M. Lopez, Marc Pradas, Aurora Hernandez-Machado
We investigate the complex spatio-temporal dynamics in avalanche driven surface growth by means of scaling theory. We study local activity statistics, avalanche kinetics, and tempo…
Avalanche dynamics in fluid imbibition near the depinning transition
Marc Pradas, Juan M. López, A. Hernández-Machado
We study avalanche dynamics and local activity of forced-flow imbibition fronts in disordered media. We focus on the front dynamics as the mean velocity of the interface…
Dynamics of gravity driven three-dimensional thin films on hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned substrates
Rodrigo Ledesma-Aguilar, Aurora Hernandez-Machado, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
We investigate numerically the dynamics of unstable gravity driven three-dimensional thin liquid films on hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned substrates of longitudinal stripes and c…
