Abstract

The shape relaxation dynamics of the droplets in amphiphile monolayers is studied in Darcy approximation. It is shown by numerical experiments that relaxation from the highly extended dumbbell configurations can be described by simple physical model according to which the dissipation is concentrated on circular tips. By numerical simulation it is illustrated that longrange dipolar interactions lead to the stabilization of the shape relaxation process with respect to the formation of a narrow neck causing the rupture of the droplet when dipolar forces are absent. Effect of the dipolar forces on the shape-relaxation process can be accounted by the slope of the relaxation curve at small deviations from circular shape calculated analytically.
