  1. Contact Line Instability in Driven Films Spreading under the action of: • gravity • centrifugal force (spin coating) - surface tension gradients

  2. Contact Line Instability:Experiments and Theory Jennifer Rieser Roman Grigoriev Michael Schatz School of Physics and Center for Nonlinear Science Georgia Institute of Technology Supported by NSF and NASA

  3. Transients & Hydrodynamic Transition Controversy in Contact Line Problem Important in Turbulent Transition? Quantitative connection between experiment and theory

  4. Optically-Driven Microflow Fluid flow FLUID Contact line

  5. Initial State (experiment and theory) Fluid flow The boundary conditions at the tail are different: experiment - constant volume theory (slip model) - constant flux

  11. Feedback control One Mechanism: Induce Transverse Counterflow to Suppress Instability Other (Streamwise) Counterflow Mechanisms Film mobility reduced by: *heating the front of the capillary ridge *cooling front and heating back of ridge Effect of Feedback Depends on Spatial Profile

  12. Feedback control (experiment) The feedback is applied on the right side of the film. On the left the film evolves under the action of a constant uniform temperature gradient.
