Nonlinear Dynamics and the Instabilities of Thin Film Dewetting

Applicant Professor Dr. Andreas Münch
Subject Area Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
Term from 2002 to 2006
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5364336
 

Project Description

The principal goal of this research project is to understand certain dynamical phenomena observed in the course of dewetting of thin liquid films. In particular, we will investigate the onset of the 'fingering' instability, and the base state from which it evolves.
