... for strain energy, (isotropic) surface energy, wetting layer potential energy, and geometric constraints, a rich behavior is obtained, whereby equilibrium configurations consist of a single island, multiple islands, or no islands, depending on the size of the growth area. It is shown that island formation...

...P. Woehl; P. Bourgin, Mem. ASME In most studies devoted to dynamic wetting, the viscosity of the ambient air is neglected compared with that of the liquid, which equivalently means that the surrounding air is considered to be static. However, the presence of air flows underneath the sheet leads...
