  • Title: Coupled self-organization: thermal interaction between two liquid films undergoing long-wavelength instabilities.
    Author: Vécsei M, Dietzel M, Hardt S.
    Journal: Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys; 2014 May; 89(5):053018. PubMed ID: 25353891.
    Abstract:
    The effects of thermal coupling between two thin liquid layers separated by a gas layer are discussed. The liquid layers undergo long-wavelength instabilities driven by gravitational and thermocapillary stresses. To study the dynamics, both a linear stability analysis and a full numerical solution of the thin-film equations are performed. The results demonstrate that the stability properties of the combined system differs substantially from the case where both layers evolve independently from each other. Most prominently, oscillatory instabilities, not present in single-liquid layer configurations, may occur.
