With the objective of estimating the thermal resistance of a two-phase closed thermosyphon
(TPCT), the work presented is a state of the art of condensation and falling film …

Free falling water film flow is widely applied in many industrial fields, including the PCCS
(Passive Containment Cooling System) of the Generation Ⅲ nuclear power plant. This paper …

Downwards co-current gas–liquid annular flows were studied experimentally and
characterized. An advanced optical laser-based measurement technique, namely Planar …

Experiments were performed to investigate the flow and surface structure in laminar wavy
films over a Reynolds number range from Ref= ρūδf/η= 27–200. Measurements of the …

The hydrodynamics of downwards gas–liquid annular flows and falling films in a pipe were
studied experimentally using simultaneous planar laser-induced fluorescence and a …

The electric power generation and oil/gas production industries have a strong interest in the
physical characterization of conducting and non-conducting liquid films that are formed …

We present the results of laboratory experiments that quantify the physical controls on the
thickness of the falling film of liquid around a Taylor bubble, when liquid–gas interfacial …

Falling liquid films and downward cocurrent flows in rounded shape pipes have been
experimentally studied during the last decades, estimating the evolution of its major …

An experimental investigation of wavy water film falling down a flat plate has been carried
out using confocal chromatic sensoring technique to determine the instantaneous and …

In this work, the statistical characteristics of the surface of a water film, freely falling down a
vertical or inclined flat plate, have been investigated. The study was carried out in the frame …
