Chemical Reaction Induced Stationary Deformation Patterns and Rhythmic Motions of Red Blood Cell Membrane

薄(0)的水动力不稳定性。从理论上研究了界面效应引起的流体膜。目前正在研究三种不同类型的界面不稳定性：由薄膜横向温度梯度引起的马兰戈尼不稳定性；由毛细作用在环形膜的自由界面引起的不稳定性；表面化学反应引起不稳定性。在每一项研究中，薄膜都被建模为粘弹性液体，并特别关注非线性稳定性特征，以及薄膜在非线性渐近状态下可能出现的变形模式。

Hydrodynamic instabilities in thin (0(.01-10 um)) fluid films caused by interfacial effects are theoretically studied. Three different types of interfacial instabilities are under investigation: a Marangoni instability resulting from a transverse temperature gradient across the film; instabilities arising from capillary action at the free interface of an annular film; and surface chemical reaction induced instabilities. In each of these investigations, the film is modeled as a viscoelastic liquid, and particular attention is focused on the nonlinear stability characteristics, and the deformation patterns of the film which may arise in nonlinear asymptotic states.
