    Professor Jens Eggers: Two Problems Involving Breakup of a Liquid Film

    McCormick-Colloquia Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics

    4:00 PM M416, Technological Institute

    EVENT DETAILS

    Title: Two Problems Involving Breakup of a Liquid Film

    Speaker: Professor Jens Eggers, University of Bristol School of Mathematics

    Abstract:Understanding the breakup of a liquid film is complicated by the fact that there is no obvious instability driving breakup: surface tension favors a film of uniform thickness over a deformed one. We identify two mechanisms driving a film toward (infinite time) pinch-off. In the first problem, we show how the rise of a bubble is arrested in a narrow tube, on account of the lubricating film pinching off. In the second problem, breakup of a free liquid film is driven by a strong temperature gradient across the pinch region.
