Gravity-driven flow over heated, porous, wavy surfaces

KA Ogden, SJD D'Alessio, JP Pascal - Physics of Fluids, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
The method of weighted residuals for thin film flow down an inclined plane is extended to
include the effects of bottom waviness, heating, and permeability in this study. A bottom slip …

Hydrodynamic theory of liquid slippage on a solid substrate near a moving contact line

E Kirkinis, SH Davis - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
In this Letter a hydrodynamic theory of liquid slippage on a solid substrate near a moving
contact line is proposed. A family of spatially varying slip lengths in the Navier slip law …

Three-Dimensional Sag Tracking in Falling Liquid Films

MW Issa, H Yu, MC Roffin, SV Barancyk, RM Rock… - Langmuir, 2022 - ACS Publications
Coating defects often arise during application in the flash stage, which constitutes the∼ 10
