Dynamics of thin liquid films with nonsoluble surfactants: Weakly nonlinear analysis
Amplitude equations for Turing instabilities for two models describing dynamics of thin liquid films with nonsoluble surfactants are derived. Analytical expressions for the film rupture time were obtained, and the comparison with the results of previous numerical simulations was performed. It was shown that the Marangoni effect due to insoluble surfactants cannot prevent the film rupture.
