Heteroclinic orbits, mobility parameters and stability for thin film type equations

英文摘要：

We study numerically the phase space of the evolution equation h_t = -(h^n h_{xxx})_x - B (h^m h_x)_x . Here h(x,t) is nonnegative, n>0 and m is real, and the Bond number B is positive. We pursue three goals: to investigate the nonlinear stability of the positive periodic and constant steady states; to locate heteroclinic connecting orbits between these steady states and the compactly supported 'droplet' steady states; and to determine how these orbits change when the 'mobility' exponents n and m are changed. For example, we change the mobility coefficients in such a way that the steady states are unchanged and find evidence that heteroclinic orbits between steady states are perturbed but not broken. We also find that when there appear to be touch-down singularities, the exponent n affects whether they occur in finite or infinite time. It also can affect whether there is one touch-down or two touch-downs per period.

On Oscillations of Solutions of the Fourth-Order Thin Film Equation Near Heteroclinic Bifurcation Point

It is shown that solutions of the Cauchy for the fourth-order thin film equation becomes non-oscillatory and non-sign-changing precisely at and above the heteroclinic bifurcation point n=1.75987..., so that, possibly, these solutions begin to coincide with nonnegative solutions of a standard and well-known free-boundary problem.

On self-similar collapse of discontinuous data for thin film equations with doubly degenerate mobility

It is shown that a Riemann-type problem with discontinuous data of sign-type for the thin film equation, which degenerates at +1 and -1, admits a self-similar solution. Both FBP and the Cauchy problem (oscillatory solutions near interfaces) settings are taken into account.

Cahn-Hilliard and Thin Film equations with nonlinear mobility as gradient flows in weighted-Wasserstein metrics

In this paper, we establish a novel approach to proving existence of non-negative weak solutions for degenerate parabolic equations of fourth order, like the Cahn-Hilliard and certain thin film equations. The considered evolution equations are in the form of a gradient flow for a perturbed Dirichlet energy with respect to a Wasserstein-like transport metric, and weak solutions are obtained as curves of maximal slope. Our main assumption is that the mobility of the particles is a concave function of their spatial density. A qualitative difference of our approach to previous ones is that essenti…

Invariant Manifolds for the Thin Film Equation

The large-time behavior of solutions to the thin film equation with linear mobility in the complete wetting regime on $\mathbb{R}^N$ is examined: We investigate the higher order asymptotics of solutions converging towards self-similar Smyth--Hill solutions under certain symmetry assumptions on the initial data. The analysis is based on a construction of finite-dimensional invariant manifolds that solutions approximate to an arbitrarily prescribed order.

Convergence of a one dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility

We consider a one dimensional periodic forward-backward parabolic equation, regularized by a non-linear fourth order term of order $ε^2\ll 1$. This equation is known in the literature as Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility. Under the hypothesis of the initial data being well prepared, we prove that as $ε\to0$, the solution converges to the solution of a well-posed degenerate parabolic equation. The proof exploits the gradient flow nature of the equation in $\mathcal{W}^2$ and utilizes the framework of convergence of gradient flows developed by Sandier-Serfaty. As an incidental, we …

The thin film equation close to self-similarity

In the present work, we study well-posedness and regularity of the multidimensional thin film equation with linear mobility in a neighborhood of the self-similar Smyth--Hill solutions. To be more specific, we perform a von Mises change of dependent and independent variables that transforms the thin film free boundary problem into a parabolic equation on the unit ball. We show that the transformed equation is well-posed and that solutions are smooth and even analytic in time and angular direction. The latter entails the analyticity of level sets of the original equation, and thus, in particular…

Relaxation to equilibrium in the one-dimensional thin-film equation with partial wetting

We investigate the large time behavior of compactly supported solutions for a one-dimensional thin-film equation with linear mobility in the regime of partial wetting. We show the stability of steady state solutions. The proof uses the Lagrangian coordinates. Our method is to establish and exploit differential relations between the energy and the dissipation as well as some interpolation inequalities. Our result is different from earlier results because here we consider solutions with finite mass.
