The Onset Acceleration for Surfactant Covered Faraday Waves
Stephen L. Strickland, Karen E. Daniels, Michael Shearer
Faraday waves are gravity-capillary waves that emerge on the surface of a vertically vibrated fluid when the energy injected via vibration exceeds the energy lost due to viscous di…
Wetting dynamics of a collapsing fluid hole
Joshua Bostwick, Joshua Dijksman, Michael Shearer
The collapse dynamics of an axisymmetric fluid cavity that wets the bottom of a rotating bucket bound by vertical sidewalls are studied. Lubrication theory is applied to the govern…
Spatiotemporal measurement of surfactant distribution on gravity-capillary waves
Stephen L Strickland, Michael Shearer, Karen E Daniels
Materials adsorbed to the surface of a fluid -- for instance, crude oil, biogenic slicks, or industrial/medical surfactants -- will move in response to surface waves. Due to the di…
Surfactant Spreading on a Thin Liquid Film: Reconciling Models and Experiments
Ellen R. Swanson, Stephen L. Strickland, Michael Shearer +1
The spreading dynamics of surfactant molecules on a thin fluid layer is of both fundamental and practical interest. A mathematical model formulated by Gaver and Grotberg 1990 descr…
