The present review describes the current achievements in the applications of a planar laser-
induced fluorescence (PLIF) method for the diagnostics of liquid films, bubbles, individual …

This article focuses on evaporative falling film heat transfer through numerical simulations. A
two-dimensional symmetric liquid film flowing outside a single horizontal tube was simulated …

The gravity-driven flowing film has been widely used in the fields of heat removal. This work
studied film thickness characteristics on the inclined plate with the laser-induced …

Wavy flow of straight rivulets down an inclined plate was studied experimentally and
theoretically. Instantaneous three-dimensional shape of a rivulet was obtained …

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

Aircraft icing poses a serious threat to flight safety. Unfrozen im**ing water on the surface
of the aircraft will run back under the effect of high-speed airflow, altering liquid distribution …

The flow of a thin film coating the underside of an inclined substrate is studied. We measure
experimentally spatial growth rates and compare them to the linear stability analysis of a flat …

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 …

The transition to drip** in the gravity-driven flow of a liquid film under an inclined plate is
investigated at zero Reynolds number. Computations are carried out on a periodic domain …

We consider the gravity-driven flow of a perfect dielectric, viscous, thin liquid film, wetting a
flat substrate inclined at a nonzero angle to the horizontal. The dynamics of the thin film is …
