Heteroclinic snaking near a heteroclinic chain in dragged meniscus problems — •Mariano Galvagno1, Dmitri Tseluiko1, and Uwe Thiele1,2 — 1Department of Mathematical Sciences, Loughborough University, UK — 2Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Münster, Germany
We study the deposition of a non-volatile liquid film onto a flat heated inclined plate extracted from a bath at constant speed. We analyse steady-state meniscus solutions of a 2d long-wave mesoscopic hydrodynamic description that incorporates wettability via a Derjaguin (disjoining) pressure as the plate velocity is changed. We observe snaking behaviour when the plate inclination angle is above a certain critical value. Otherwise, the bifurcation curve is monotonic. The solutions along these curves are characterised by a foot-like structure [1] formed close to the meniscus. The foot is preceded by a thin precursor film further up the plate. We show that the snaking is related to the existence of infinitely many heteroclinic orbits close to a heteroclinic chain in an appropriate 3d phase space connecting the fixed points of the system [2].
