Fluids 22, 104102 (2010)]. One equation describes the location of the free surface and the second one the evolution of the mean concentration. This lubrication model was investigated previously in linearized form. The study is now extended to the fully nonlinear case of thin liquid films of a binary mixture (in one and two horizontal spatial dimensions) with and without heat transport. For an initially flat and motionless film heated from below, we analyze the component separation induced by the Soret effect. Nonlinear simulations show that the Soret effect can cause a multitude of interesting behaviors, such as oscillatory patterns and solitonlike structures (localized traveling drops or holes). A stronger component separation induced by stronger Soret effects favors faster-moving localized structures. For isothermal systems, we study the fusion and the mixing of two thin liquid films of different but perfectly miscible liquids. Marangoni-driven forces can cause delayed coalescence, ripple formation, and fingering patterns at the borderline between the two liquid layers. A systematic analysis for ripple pattern formation and finger instabilities at different diffusion constants shows that these phenomena appear more pronounced for lower diffusion in the system.}, language = {en} } @misc{BorciaBorciaBestehorn, author = {Borcia, Rodica and Borcia, Ion-Dan and Bestehorn, Michael}, title = {Can vibrations control drop motion?}, series = {Langmuir}, volume = {30}, journal = {Langmuir}, number = {47}, issn = {1520-5827}, doi = {10.1021/la503415r}, pages = {14113 -- 14117}, abstract = {We discuss a mechanism for controlled motion of drops with applications for microfluidics and microgravity.

We study the dependency of the traveled distance on the oscillation parameters (forcing amplitude, frequency, and phase shift between the two perpendicular oscillations) via phase field simulations.

To obtain structured silicon surfaces with different morphological features, we patterned the surface by irradiation with femtosecond pulses from an amplified Ti:Sapphire laser system (790 nm/100 fs/1 kHz) at a fluence in the range of 0.4-1.2 J/cm2 on a spot with a diameter about of 100 μm. Variation of the applied irradiation dose results in surface modifications with the roughness about of a few tens of nanometers are ranging from regular LIPSS patterns with the lateral period of about 500-700 nm to complex agglomerations of 3-D microstructures with several-μm feature size.

For the experiment, eight unevenly distributed ultrasonic distance sensors measure the local height of the wave surface. The resonance curves show maxima only for odd multiples of the fundamental resonance frequency . We explained this behavior using a simple intuitive "ping-pong" like model. Collision of wave fronts can be observed for higher frequencies. Also, the wave reflection on the walls can be treated as wave collision with itself. The non-linearity seems to be weak in our study so the delay in the wave propagation before and after the collision is small. Time-space plots show localized propagating waves with high amplitudes for frequencies near resonance. Between the peaks low amplitude and harmonic patterns are observed. However, for higher frequencies, the frequency band for localized waves becomes wider. In the Fourier space-time plane, this can be observed as a point for the harmonic patterns or a superposition of two lines: one line parallel to wave-vector k axis corresponding to the excitation frequency and a second line with inclination given by wave propagation velocity .

An extended free energy is proposed to account for the continuous path from immiscible to miscible states. We consider fluid pairs that are immiscible for temperatures below the critical one (consolute temperature) and miscible above it. Our extended phase field equation permits us to move from the immiscible state (governed by the Cahn-Hilliard equation) to the miscible state (defined by the species diffusion equation). The scaling of interface tension and interface width with the distance to the critical point is highlighted. The whole system is mechanically excited showing Faraday instability of a flat interface. A linear stability analysis is performed for the stable case (interface waves) as well as for the unstable Faraday one. For the latter, a Floquet analysis shows the well-known Arnold's tongues as a function of the consolute temperature and depth layer. Moreover, two-dimensional finite difference simulations have been performed allowing us to model nonlinear flow patterns both in miscible and immiscible phases. Linear theory and nonlinear simulations show interesting results such as the diminishing of the wavelength of Faraday waves or a shift of the critical vibration amplitude when the consolute temperature is approached.}, language = {en} } @misc{BorciaPopescuBorcia, author = {Borcia, Rodica and Popescu, Sebastian and Borcia, Ion-Dan}, title = {IMA10: interfacial fluid dynamics and processes}, series = {European Physical Journal Special Topics}, volume = {232}, journal = {European Physical Journal Special Topics}, number = {4}, issn = {1951-6401}, doi = {10.1140/epjs/s11734-023-00798-5}, pages = {365 -- 366}, abstract = {MA10-special issue presents recent advances on interfacial fluid dynamics with applications in microfluidics, biology, engineering and geophysics.}, language = {en} } @misc{BestehornBorcia, author = {Bestehorn, Michael and Borcia, Ion-Dan}, title = {Thin film lubrication dynamics of a binarymixture}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BorciaHarlander, author = {Borcia, Ion-Dan and Harlander, Uwe}, title = {Inertial waves inside a liquid confined between two rotating coaxial cylinders: the case of small Ekman number}, language = {en} }
