Show affiliationsWe investigate the dewetting rates of thin liquid films using a lubrication model that describes the dewetting process of polymer melts on hydrophobized substrates. We study the effect of different boundary conditions at the liquid/solid interface, in particular, of the no-slip and the Navier slip boundary condition, and compare our numerical solutions for the no-slip and the slip-dominated cases to available results that originate from scaling arguments, simplified flow assumptions and energy balances. We furthermore consider these issues for an extended lubrication model that includes nonlinear curvature.
