Slot die coating is a pre‐metered process commonly used for producing thin and uniform
films. It is an important film fabrication method for applications where precise coating is …

Slot coating is a common method in the manufacture of a wide variety of products. It belongs
to a class of coating method known as premetered coating: the thickness of the coated liquid …

The region of acceptable quality in the space of operating parameters of a coating process is
usually bounded by various coating defects. An important limit of the slot coating process is …

We experimentally studied the viscous fingering instability considering a Newtonian oil
displacing viscoelastic shear-thinning liquids and vice versa. The non-Newtonian liquids are …

The motion of a gaseous Taylor bubble in a capillary tube is typical of many biological and
engineering systems, such as small-scale reactors and microfluidic devices. Although the …

We present a computational study of free surface flows with rheologically complex interfaces
in the film formation region of a slot coater. The equations of motion for incompressible …

This work deals with the development of a numerical method for simulating viscoelastic
axisymmetric free surface flow of an Oldroyd B fluid. A novel formulation is developed for the …

Slot‐die coating is an economical roll‐to‐roll processing technique with potential to
revolutionize the fabrication of nano‐patterned thin films at high throughput. In this study, the …

Roll coating is distinguished by the use of one or more gaps between rotating cylinders to
meter and apply a liquid layer to a substrate. Except at low speed, the two-dimensional film …

Thin-film flows of viscoelastic fluids are encountered in various industrial and biological
settings. The understanding of thin viscous film flows in Newtonian fluids is very well …
