Liquid film dynamics in horizontal and tilted tubes: dry spots and sliding drops (2007)
Journal Article
King, A. A., Cummings, L. J., Naire, S., & Jensen, O. E. (2007). Liquid film dynamics in horizontal and tilted tubes: dry spots and sliding drops. Physics of Fluids, 19(4), Article 042102. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2714569

Using a model derived from lubrication theory, we consider the evolution of a thin viscous film coating the interior or exterior of a cylindrical tube. The flow is driven by surface tension and gravity and the liquid is assumed to wet the cylinder p... Read More about Liquid film dynamics in horizontal and tilted tubes: dry spots and sliding drops.
