The liquid-phase mass transfer of material in the film–substrate system exposed to intense energy flows

Abstract

This paper deals with the mathematical model which involves nonlinear dynamics of free surface and contact boundary in a film–substrate system. The model is used for further investigation of the role played by the Taylor-type instability in processes of liquid-phase mass transfer in a film–substrate system. It has been proved that the development of the Taylor-type instability may result in efficient mass transfer. The results of the process depends on exposure parameters, film thickness, and the initial condition of the surface. © 2013 by Begell House, Inc.
