Hydrodynamic Theory of Forced Dewetting
Open accessAbstract
A prototypical problem in the study of wetting phenomena is that of a solid plunging into or being withdrawn from a liquid bath. In the latter, dewetting case, a critical speed exists above which a three-phase contact line is no longer sustainable and the solid can no longer remain dry. Instead, a liquid film is being deposited on the solid. Demonstrating this transition from a dry to a wetted solid to be of hydrodynamic origin, we provide the first theoretical explanation of a classical prediction due to Derjaguin and Levi: instability occurs when the outer, static meniscus approaches the shape corresponding to a perfectly wetting fluid. Our analysis investigates the conditions under which the highly curved contact line region can be matched to the static profile far away from it.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
