Subject of this study is the free boundary problem of a liquid layer that is dried by evaporation. Using a Stefan type problem, we model the diffusion driven drying of a layer of liquid paint consisting of resin and solvent. The effect of a small perturbation of the flat boundary is considered. We include the discussion of evaporation constant as a free parameter. For both small and big wavenumber, the high speed of evaporation can lead to instability. We first recognize this instability in the linearized equation. Using numerical calculations, we show that the instability also happens in the full equation. |
