This paper is devoted to the simultaneous application of two spatiotemporally resolved
optical techniques capable of liquid film thickness measurements, namely Planar Laser …

We offer new insights and results on the hydrodynamics of solitary waves on inertia-
dominated falling liquid films using a combination of experimental measurements, direct …

We present an optical technique that combines simultaneous planar laser-induced
fluorescence (PLIF), particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) and infrared (IR) thermography for …

Annular flows are employed in numerous engineering and industrial processes relating to
the chemical, oil and gas, solar and nuclear energy industries. Yet, the reliable and detailed …

The characteristics of thin liquid films flowing down a uniformly heated and inclined plane
are investigated, with heat transfer across the wavy films quantified using up-to-date optical …

Theranostic nanoplatforms combining photosensitizers and anticancer drugs have aroused
wide interest due to the real-time photoacoustic (PA) imaging capability and improved …

Liquid flows over patterned and/or contoured substrates is utilized in many practical
applications eg, lubrication flow in MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems)/NEMS (nano …

We report on detailed and systematic experiments of thin liquid films flowing as a result of
the action of gravity under an inverted planar substrate. A measurement technique based on …

Experiments are performed in low-inclination (≤ 5°) upward stratified oil (Exxsol D140) and
water flows. The flows are investigated using a novel two-line laser-based diagnostic …

Wave instabilities of falling liquid films are crucial in many applications to enhance heat and
mass transfer. Despite the importance of this issue, the interplay between the heat transfer …
