Journal ArticleDOI
Long-scale evolution of thin liquid films
TL;DR: In this article, a unified mathematical theory is presented that takes advantage of the disparity of the length scales and is based on the asymptotic procedure of reduction of the full set of governing equations and boundary conditions to a simplified, highly nonlinear, evolution equation or to a set of equations.

Dynamics and stability of thin liquid films
Richard V. Craster,Omar Matar +1 more
TL;DR: The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades: the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows along a windowpane or along guttering, the patterning of dewetting droplets, and the fingering of viscous flows down a slope are all examples that are familiar in daily life.
BookDOI
The MEMS Handbook
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed overview of the history of the field of flow simulation for MEMS and discuss the current state-of-the-art in this field.
Journal ArticleDOI
The drainage of thin liquid films between solid surfaces
Derek Y. C. Chan,Roger G. Horn +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the thickness as a function of time of liquid films as they are squeezed between molecularly smooth mica surfaces and determined the film thickness with an accuracy of 0.2 nm as they drain from ∼1 μm to a few molecular layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capillary interactions between particles bound to interfaces, liquid films and biomembranes.
TL;DR: This article is devoted to an overview, comparison and discussion of recent results (both theoretical and experimental) about lateral capillary forces, when the contact of particles or other bodies with a fluid phase boundary causes perturbations in the interfacial shape.

The London—van der Waals attraction between spherical particles
TL;DR: In this article, the London-v.d. interaction between two spherical particles is computed as a function of the diameters and the distance separating them, and a table is calculated which enables numerical application of the formulae derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
LI. A contribution to the theory of electrocapillarity
TL;DR: A contribution to the theory of electrocapillarity is given in this paper, where it is shown that the theory can be applied to the field of electrochemysics as well as physics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Retardation on the London-van der Waals Forces
Hendrik Casimir,D. Polder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of retardation on the energy of interaction between two neutral atoms is investigated by means of quantum electrodynamics, and it is shown that the influence leads to a reduction of the interaction energy by a correction factor which decreases monotonically with increasing distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Theory of Lubrication and Its Application to Mr. Beauchamp Tower's Experiments, Including an Experimental Determination of the Viscosity of Olive Oil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the boundary or surface actions of fluids and proposed a theoretical treatment of the physical actions of oils and other viscous fluids to diminish friction and wear between solid surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Van Der Waals Forces in Gases
John C. Slater,John G. Kirkwood +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of two atoms at large separation has been calculated for hydrogen and helium, and a correlation between the mutual energy of the two molecules and the polarizability was obtained.
