Thin liquid films down a vertical microfiber: Effect of curvature elasticity.

In this paper, we use a long-wave model to examine how the curvature elasticity modifies the famous Plateau-Rayleigh mechanism and the formation of viscous beads on a vertically placed fiber. By blending the analyses of linear stability, weakly nonlinear stability, exact nonlinear solutions, and numerical simulations, the effects of spontaneous curvature, surface bending rigidity, Gaussian curvature, and Van der Waals forces on the Plateau-Rayleigh mechanism and breakup of the liquid film are examined. The spontaneous curvature and surface bending rigidity are stabilizing the interface, which can reduce the amplitude and wave speed of nonlinear traveling waves and retard the breakup of film caused by Van der Waals attractions. However, the Gaussian curvature effect reinforces the Plateau-Rayleigh mechanism, which accelerates the rupture of film.
