This paper describes the development of an experimental technique that combines
simultaneous planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) and infrared (IR) thermography …

Numerical simulations of multiphase flows are crucial in numerous engineering applications,
but are often limited by the computationally demanding solution of the Navier–Stokes (NS) …

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 …

This study addresses the fluid dynamics of two-dimensional falling films flowing underneath
an inclined plane using the weighted integral boundary layer (WIBL) model and direct …

We derive a new model for thin viscous liquid films down an inclined plane. With an
asymptotic expansion in the long-wave limit, the Navier–Stokes equations and the work …

This paper addresses several aspects of the axisymmetric flow of a liquid film over the
surface of a downward-sloping cone. The study is rooted on a validated computational tool …

Falling liquid films on the underside of a plate or on the outside of a rotating cylinder are
subject to a destabilizing body force. The evolution of the film topology is determined by …

Low Kapitza liquids, such as mineral or vegetable oils, have a low surface tension and a
high viscosity. In these liquids, capillary forces and extensional viscous dissipation play an …

This paper proposes the notion of model adaptivity for fluid flow modelling, where the
underlying model (the governing equations) is adaptively changed in space and time …

The experimental study on flow characteristics of the turbulent falling film flowing along a
vertical Perspex plate was carried out using ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry (UDV, a non …
