Simulations of Surfactant Driven Thin Film Flow
This thesis is intended to fulfill the requirements of the Math and Physics departments at Harvey Mudd College. We begin with a brief introduction to the study of surfactant dynamics followed by some background on the experimental framework our work is related to. We then go through a derivation of the model we use, and explore in depth the nature of the Equation of State (EoS), the relationshi...
متن کاملSurfactant spreading on a thin liquid film: reconcilingmodels and experiments
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 [J Fluid Mech 235:399–414, 1992] describing the spreading of a single layer of insoluble surfactant has become widely accepted, and several experiments on axisymmetric spreading have confirmed its predictions for both the heigh...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of the Steady State of a Driven Thin Film Equation
A third-order ordinary differential equationwith application in the flow of a thin liquid film is considered.The boundary conditions come from Tanner’s problem for the surface tension driven flow of a thin film. Symmetric and nonsymmetric finite difference schemes are implemented in order to obtain steady state solutions. We show that a central difference approximation to the third derivative i...
متن کاملOn the numerical solution of a driven thin film equation
This paper is devoted to comparing numerical schemes for a differential equation with convection and fourth-order diffusion. Our model equation is ut þ ðu uÞx 1⁄4 ðuuxxxÞx, which arises in the context of thin film flow. First we employ implicit schemes and treat both convection and diffusion terms implicitly. Then the convection terms are treated with wellknown explicit schemes, namely Godunov,...
متن کاملan investigation into translation of cultural concepts by beginner and advance student using think – aloud protocols
this research aims at answering the questions about translation problems and strategies applied by translators when translating cultural concepts. in order to address this issue, qualitative and quantitative study were conducted on two groups of subjects at imam reza international university of mashhad. these two groups were assigned as beginner and advanced translation students (10 students). ...
