Self-similar flow and contact line geometry at the rear of cornered drops

JH Snoeijer, E Rio, N Le Grand, L Limat - Physics of Fluids, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
Partially wetting drops sliding down an inclined plane develop a “corner singularity” at the
rear, consisting of two dynamic contact lines that intersect. We analyze the three …

Simulation of basic gas mixing tests with condensation in the PANDA facility using the GOTHIC code

M Andreani, D Paladino, T George - Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2010 - Elsevier
The paper reports the results of the assessment of the GOTHIC code using the data of four
basic tests with condensation performed in the PANDA large-scale facility. Three of these …

Computation of a moving drop/bubble on a solid surface using a front-tracking method

H Huang, D Liang, B Wetton - 2004 - projecteuclid.org
In this paper we outline a front-tracking method for computing the moving contact line. In
particular, we are interested in the motion of two-dimensional drops and bubbles on a …

Rupture of a fluid strip under partial wetting conditions

AG González, J Diez, R Gratton, J Gomba - Europhysics Letters, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the evolution of a long strip of viscous fluid on a horizontal glass substrate under
partial-wetting conditions. This initial condition develops into an array of quasi-equidistant …

The effect of surface tension on the gravity-driven thin film flow of Newtonian and power-law fluids

B Hu, SL Kieweg - Computers & fluids, 2012 - Elsevier
Gravity-driven thin film flow is of importance in many fields, as well as for the design of
polymeric drug delivery vehicles, such as anti-HIV topical microbicides. There have been …

Stability of a liquid ring on a substrate

AG González, JA Diez, L Kondic - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013 - cambridge.org
We study the stability of a viscous incompressible fluid ring on a partially wetting substrate
within the framework of long-wave theory. We discuss the conditions under which a static …

Wetting and dewetting processes in the axial retraction of liquid filaments

PD Ravazzoli, I Cuellar, AG González, JA Diez - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
We study the hydrodynamic mechanisms involved in the motion of the contact line formed at
the end region of a liquid filament laying on a planar and horizontal substrate. Since the flow …

Stability study of a constant-volume thin film flow

JM Gomba, J Diez, R Gratton, AG González… - Physical Review E …, 2007 - APS
We study the stability of a constant volume of fluid spreading down an incline. In contrast to
the commonly considered flow characterized by constant fluid flux, in the present problem …

Spreading of a micrometric fluid strip down a plane under controlled initial conditions

JM Gomba, J Diez, AG González, R Gratton - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2005 - APS
We experimentally study the spreading of a small volume of silicon oil down a vertical plane
with small Bond number. The initial condition is characterized by a horizontal long fluid strip …

Experimental and numerical models of three-dimensional gravity-driven flow of shear-thinning polymer solutions used in vaginal delivery of microbicides

VO Kheyfets, SL Kieweg - Journal of …, 2013 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
HIV/AIDS is a growing global pandemic. A microbicide is a formulation of a pharmaceutical
agent suspended in a delivery vehicle, and can be used by women to protect themselves …
