Theoretical and computational study of pattern development during multicomponent thin film evaporation due to Marangoni phenomena

Abstract

The objective of this dissertation is the investigation of the stability characteristics of solutocapillary Marangoni motion in evaporating thin films by linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulations. The main characteristic of the instability is the development of cellular patterns with small interfacial deformation. The critical Marangoni number is found to be proportional to the inverse square root of a dimensionless evaporation rate. There exists an additional mode of instability due to the coordinated action of capillary pressure and Marangoni stresses and is manifested as a long-wave oscillatory behavior leading to the fast leveling of film thickness disturbances and subsequent reversal. This type of instability is likely to be observed at relatively small Marangoni numbers because otherwise it is overwhelmed by the cellular mode. In the second part of the thesis, the strong dependence of viscosity on solute concentration is taken into account. The specific aim is th ...
