A03

A03 investigates forced dewetting phenomena, development of instabilities and emergence of the cavitation in a fast stretching liquid bridge formed between two solid substrates. The study is performed using an experimental setup which provides a controlled, constant acceleration of one of the plates.

Special focus is on

• the effects of rheologically complex liquids (suspensions, polymer dispersions, real ink fluids)
• the influence of thermal effects, and
• the effects of accelerated substrates.

The methods and models developed for Newtonian fluids in the first funding period will be generalized and further developed for complex cases.
