ABSTRACTExperiments have shown that a thin polymer film subjected to an electrostatic field may lose stability at the polymer-air interface, leading to uniform self-organized pillars emerging out of the film surface. This paper presents a three dimensional dynamic model that accounts for the behavior. Attention is focused on the interplay of the thermodynamic forces and the kinetic processes. The coupled diffusion, viscous flow, and dielectric effect are incorporated into a phase field framework. The semi-implicit Fourier spectral method and the preconditioned biconjugate-gradient method are applied in the simulations for high efficiency and numerical stability. Numerical simulations reveal rich dynamics of the pattern formation process.

The paper presents a summary of the results obtained by C. J. Cohen and E. C. Hubbard, who established by numerical integration that a resonance relation exists between the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. The problem may be explored further by approximating the motion of Pluto by that of a particle with negligible mass in the three-dimensional (circular) restricted problem. The mass of Pluto and the eccentricity of Neptune's orbit are ignored in this approximation. Significant features of the problem appear to be the presence of two critical arguments and the possibility that the orbit may be related to a periodic orbit of the third kind.
