We provide a comprehensive review of theoretical and experimental studies of several
configurations involving liquid-gas interfaces in contact with heated solid substrates which …

The falling thin water film on the vertical or inclined structure surface has been observed in
various industrial fields. The water film behavior is also a key concern in nuclear safety, eg …

Heat and mass transfer processes performed by using thin liquid films are recurrent in a
series of technical applications. The circumstances under which dry spots appear on the …

Rivulet dynamics is involved in different scientific problems and industrial applications from
production of microchips, to rain flow on structural systems such as wind turbine blades and …

Nanofluids are colloidal dispersions of nanoparticles in water. Many studies have reported
very significant enhancement (up to 200%) of the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) in pool boiling of …

Moisture is still one of the primary causes of premature building deterioration with rainwater
being the most important source affecting the hygrothermal performance and durability of …

Rivulet flows can form and thereby affect heat transfer during dropwise condensation on
long vertical surfaces. Under noncondensable gas conditions, including in heat exchangers …

In this work, liquid rivulets on inclined, smooth surfaces were examined experimentally using
light-induced fluorescence. The influence of viscosity, surface tension and inclination angle …

Droplet shedding and coalescence has various industrial applications from ink-jet printing to
ice accretion on wind turbine blades, power lines or aircrafts. It is known that the incipience …

In this paper the physical model describing water film behaviors in German containment
code system COCOSYS has been modified by taking into consideration the film breakup …
