Abstract
A long-wave evolution equation is derived using an asymptotic analysis, and the linear stability of a viscoelastic film flowing along the direction of parallel grooves over a uniformly heated topography is studied. A numerical approach adopting spectral collocation technique is used to demarcate the stable and unstable flow regimes. The combined influence of thermocapillarity and viscoelasticity on the films stability is analyzed. By accounting the bottom topography comprising longitudinal gutters, the possibilities of regulating the film dynamics under iso- and nonisothermal conditions and/or optimizing design structure of an apparatus for desirable flow outcomes have been focussed.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design is a reputable journal published by Zhejiang University Press Co., Ltd. It was founded in December, 1994 as the first internationally cooperative journal in the area of engineering design research. Administrated by the Ministry of Education of China, it is sponsored by both Zhejiang University and Chinese Society of Mechanical Engineering. Zhejiang University Press Co., Ltd. is fully responsible for its bimonthly domestic and oversea publication. Its page is in A4 size. This journal is devoted to reporting most up-to-date achievements of engineering design researches and therefore, to promote the communications of academic researches and their applications to industry. Achievments of great creativity and practicablity are extraordinarily desirable. Aiming at supplying designers, developers and researchers of diversified technical artifacts with valuable references, its content covers all aspects of design theory and methodology, as well as its enabling environment, for instance, creative design, concurrent design, conceptual design, intelligent design, web-based design, reverse engineering design, industrial design, design optimization, tribology, design by biological analogy, virtual reality in design, structural analysis and design, design knowledge representation, design knowledge management, design decision-making systems, etc.
