Abstract

The stability analysis of a thin micropolar fluid flowing on a rotating circular disk is investigated numerically. The target is restricted to some neighborhood of critical value in the linear stability analysis. First, a generalized nonlinear kinematic model is derived by the long wave perturbation method. The method of normal mode is applied to the linear stability. After the weakly nonlinear dynamics of a film flow is studied by using the method of multiple scales, the Ginzburg-Landau equation is determined to discuss the necessary condition in terms of the various states of subcritical stability, subcritical instability, supercritical stability, and supercritical explosion for the existence of such flow pattern. The modeling results indicate that the rotation number and the radius of circular disk play the significant roles in destabilizing the flow. Furthermore, the micropolar parameter K serves as the stabilizing factor in the thin film flow.
