Abstract

The influences of the Navier slip condition on the stability and dynamics of surfactant-covered ultrathin films are investigated by linear theory and numerical simulation based on lubrication approximation. The competition of the slippage, intermolecular potential and the Marangoni effect and their role on the flow are discussed in the present paper.
