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

The total free energy (per unit area) of a thin film on a substrate depends on the film thickness, and the apolar (Lifshitz-van der Waals) and polar ( acid-base) spreading coefficients for the system. The free interface of the film becomes unstable and deforms when the second derivative of the free
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
