The spreading and stability of a surfactant-laden drop on an inclined prewetted substrate (2015)
Journal Article
Naire. (2015). The spreading and stability of a surfactant-laden drop on an inclined prewetted substrate. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 5-24. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022112005008104

We consider a viscous drop, loaded with an insoluble surfactant, spreading over a flat plane that is covered initially with a thin liquid film. Lubrication theory allows the flow to be modelled using coupled nonlinear evolution equations for the film...
