The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

The present review deals with the effects of topography and inertia on gravity-driven film
flows. The article is organized like a rope ladder, with the rungs of topography and inertia …

Mass transfer and liquid hold-up in structured packing geometry are investigated using the
volume of fluid method. Numerical simulations of two-dimensional co-current gas–liquid flow …

This work has been carried out in the framework of post-combustion CO2 capture process
development. Considering the huge amount of gases to be treated and the constraints in …

Gravity-driven film flow along an inclined periodic wall with transverse rectangular
corrugations is studied experimentally. The effect of corrugation steepness (= height∕ …

We numerically investigated the film flow down an inclined plate using the volume of fluid
(VOF) method. The flow simulations have been systematically carried out for a wide range of …

A low-dimensional model capturing the fully coupled dynamics of a wavy liquid film in
interaction with a strongly confined laminar gas flow is introduced. It is based on the …

Computational fluid dynamics was used to study the hydrodynamic of structured packings.
The results showed that the k–ω was a suitable turbulence model for analyzing the flows in …

Wet cooling towers are used in many industrial processes but hydrodynamic behaviour of air-
water counter flows in towers packing remains unknown. Hydrodynamics is directly linked …

A Volume-of-Fluid methodology for direct numerical simulation of interface dynamics and
simultaneous interphase heat and mass transfer in systems with multiple chemical species …
