Dynamically Adaptive Coordinate System for Binary Mixture Thin Films — •Ion Dan Borcia and Michael Bestehorn — Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Physik II, Brandenburgische Technische Universität, Cottbus, Germany

A binary mixture with deformable upper surface is numerically studied. Other numerical methods for hydrodynamics involving time-depending boundaries imply the calculation of the integration grid using spline algorithms (boundary-fitted coordinate solving method [1]). In our case the thin film equation [2] gives directly the integration grid for the 3D concentration equation. Linear and non-linear results using this method are presented.
