Dynamic of plumes and scaling during the melting of a Phase Change Material heated from below
Santiago Madruga, Jezabel Curbelo
We identify and describe the main dynamic regimes occurring during the melting of the PCM n-octadecane in horizontal layers of several sizes heated from below. This configuration a…
Decomposition driven interface evolution for layers of binary mixtures: {II}. Influence of convective transport on linear stability
Santiago Madruga, Uwe Thiele
We study the linear stability with respect to lateral perturbations of free surface films of polymer mixtures on solid substrates. The study focuses on the stability properties of…
Decomposition driven interface evolution for layers of binary mixtures: I. Model derivation and stratified base states
Uwe Thiele, Santiago Madruga, Lubor Frastia
A dynamical model is proposed to describe the coupled decomposition and profile evolution of a free surface film of a binary mixture. An example is a thin film of a polymer blend o…
Convective instabilities in two superposed horizontal liquid layers heated laterally
S. Madruga, C. Perez-Garcia, G. Lebon
This work is devoted to the theoretical study of the stability of two superposed horizontal liquid layers bounded by two solid planes and subjected to a horizontal temperature grad…
