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

โฆ Synopsis
A simplified governing equation with high-order effects is formulated after a procedure of evaluating the order of magnitude. Furthermore, the nonlinear evolution equations are derived by the Kfirrnfi_n-Polhausen integral method with a specified velocity profile. Particularly, the effects of surface tension, van der Waals potential, inertia and high-order viscous dissipation are taken into consideration in these equation. The numerical results reveal that the rupture time of free film is much shorter than that of a film on a fiat plate. It is shown that because of a more complete high-order viscous dissipation effect discussed in the present study, the rupture process of present model is slower than is predicted by the high-order long wave theory.
