Fingering instability of thin spreading films driven by temperature gradients
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report another example of such unstable driven flow, this time caused by the Marangoni effect, in which a temperature gradient induces a gradient of surface tension which drives the spreading process.

Hydrodynamic fingering instability of driven wetting films: hindrance by diffusion
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of a precursor film in front of the spreading macroscopic film, whether it is by prewetting the substrate or by surface diffusion or multilayer absorption, can prevent the development of the fingering instability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Droplet spreading in presence of contamination
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of surface and atmospheric contamination on the dynamics of spreading of silicone oil drops on glass surfaces was studied, and the profiles and dynamics of the spreading of spreading drops were analyzed.
