A process of nonlinear three-dimensional rupture of thin liquid films is numerically analyzed for the first time. With the rupture time being successfully calculated, it has been possible to develop a more complete rupture theory for thin liquid films. In contrast to the linear analysis indicating t

There has been much research on the stability of a thin The dynamic rupture process of a thin liquid film on a cylinder liquid film on the cylindrical surface (9-14). However, little is investigated numerically. First a nonlinear differential equation has been reported on the effect of the van der W
## Abstract A thin film on a horizontal solid substrate and coated with a soluble surfactant is considered. The governing degenerate parabolic equations for the film height and the surfactant concentrations on the surface and in the bulk are derived using a lubrication approximation when gravity is
The long-scale evolution of a thin liquid film between a viscous bounding phase and a fixed substrate is addressed. Positively charged surfactants are allowed to diffuse along the free water/bounding-phase interface and the substrate has fixed electric charges of opposite sign. We assume that the fr
