Lift force acting on a levitating drop over a moving wall
We experimentally investigate a levitating drop over a moving wall. Between the drop and the wall, a thin air film exists. In this study particular attention is given to examine whether the lift force generated inside the thin air film is dominant force ...

A Potential Field Description for Gravity-Driven Film Flow over Piece-Wise Planar Topography
Models based on a potential field description and corresponding first integral formulation, embodying a reduction of the associated dynamic boundary condition at a free surface to one of a standard Dirichlet-Neumann type, are used to explore the problem ...

A new resistance function for two rigid spheres in a uniform compressible low-Reynolds-number flow [PDF]
The pressure moment of a rigid particle is defined as the trace of the first moment of the surface stress acting on the particle. We calculate the pressure moments of two unequal rigid spheres immersed in a uniform compressible linear flow, using twin ...

Flow in a double-film-fed fluid bead between contra-rotating rolls, Part 1: equilibrium flow structure [PDF]
In multiple-roll coaters thin liquid films are transferred from roll to roll by means of liquid ‘beads’ which occupy the small gaps between adjacent rolls.
