Preface to the special issue on "recent developments and new directions in thin-film flow" [PDF]
, 2012 Thin films of fluids are of central importance in numerous industrial, biomedical, geophysical and domestic applications, and display a rich and varied range of behaviours, including pattern formation, dewetting, rupture and finite-time blow up.

Biomedical applications of Jones-matrix tomography to polycrystalline films of biological fluids [PDF]
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2019 Algorithms for reconstruction of linear and circular birefringence-dichroism of optically thin anisotropic biological layers are presented. The technique of Jones-matrix tomography of polycrystalline films of biological fluids of various human organs has

Morphological phase transitions of thin fluid films on chemically structured substrates [PDF]
, 1999 Using an interface displacement model derived from a microscopic density functional theory we investigate thin liquid-like wetting layers adsorbed on flat substrates with an embedded chemical heterogeneity forming a stripe.

Notes regarding the supply and drain pressure effects on a squeeze film damper [PDF]
INCAS Bulletin, 2018 Squeeze film dampers (SFD) are perhaps the most efficient devices that, can be used nowadays to control the shafts in airworthy turbo-compressors. Various other devices can be successfully used in land-based rotating machinery; however, due to space and ...

Gravity-driven thin film flow of an ellis fluid [PDF]
Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2013 The thin film lubrication approximation has been studied extensively for moving contact lines of Newtonian fluids. However, many industrial and biological applications of the thin film equation involve shear-thinning fluids, which often also exhibit a Newtonian plateau at low shear. This study presents new numerical simulations of the three-dimensional

Photoacoustic transients generated by laser irradiation of thin films
Photoacoustics, 2015 Irradiation of an optically thin layer immersed in a transparent fluid with pulsed laser radiation can generate photoacoustic waves through two mechanisms. The first of these is the conventional optical heating of the layer followed by thermal expansion,

Designing soft materials with interfacial instabilities in liquid films
Nature Communications, 2018 Interfacial instabilities can be damaging as they may lead to fabrication defects. Here the authors harness a fluid instability to their advantage to produce thin polymeric films with drop-shaped structures which have tailored geometrical properties.

Microvorticity fluctuations affect the structure of thin fluid films [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2019 The dynamic interaction of complex fluid interfaces is highly sensitive to near-contact interactions occurring at the scale of ten of nanometers. Such interactions are difficult to analyze because they couple self-consistently to the dynamic morphology of the evolving interface, as well as to the hydrodynamics of the interstitial fluid film.
