Thermocapillary instabilities

SH Davis - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 1987 - annualreviews.org
… Smith & Davis (1983a) argue similarly that the stabilization as P decreases is accompanied
… for this instability paraphrases that of Smith & Davis (l983a). Assume that a disturbance …

Long-scale evolution of thin liquid films

A Oron, SH Davis, SG Bankoff - Reviews of modern physics, 1997 - APS
… and Davis, 1974), which can be relieved by allowing a relative motion, slip, between the
liquid and the solid near the contact line. In order to include such cases, discussed in Sec. V, we …

The stability of time-periodic flows

SH Davis - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 1976 - annualreviews.org
… See Dudis & Davis (1971) for an alternative. The Davis-von Kerczek extension for transient
… The nonlinear development of an unstable disturbance has been followed by Davis (1971) in …

On the motion of a fluid-fluid interface along a solid surface

SH Davis - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1974 - cambridge.org
A fluid-fluid interface that joins a solid surface forms a common line. If the common line
moves along the solid, a mutual displacement process is involved and is studied here. Some …

Convection in a box: linear theory

SH Davis - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1967 - cambridge.org
The linear stability of a quiescent, three-dimensional rectangular box of fluid heated from
below is considered. It is found that finite rolls (cells with two non-zero velocity components …

Instabilities of dynamic thermocapillary liquid layers. Part 1. Convective instabilities

MK Smith, SH Davis - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1983 - cambridge.org
… In this limit, we find that the leading-order solution obtained by the asymptotic analysis of
Sen & Davis (1982) becomes an exact solution of the outer problem, ie all O(A) terms are …

Nonlinear stability of evaporating/condensing liquid films

JP Burelbach, SG Bankoff, SH Davis - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1988 - cambridge.org
… To examine spontaneous rupture we follow Williams & Davis (1982) and take A = O(kl).
We let E = O(k) to include mass loss and D = O(k3) to retain vapour recoil. These last two …

[BOOK][B] Victims of the Miracle. Development and the Indians of Brazil.

SH Davis - 1977 - cabidigitallibrary.org
The central contention is that the massive amount of disease, death and suffering unleashed
upon Brazilian Indians in the past few years is a direct result of government economic …

Morphological instability in epitaxially strained dislocation-free solid films

BJ Spencer, PW Voorhees, SH Davis - Physical review letters, 1991 - APS
We perform the first analysis of the morphological instability of a growing epitaxially strained
dislocation-free olid film. We derive an evolution equation for the film surface based on …

Nonlinear theory of film rupture

MB Williams, SH Davis - Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1982 - Elsevier
The present work aims at examining nonlinear effects on film rupture by investigating the
stability of thin films to finite amplitude disturbances. The dynamics of the liquid film is …
