THIN FILMS FLOW DRIVEN BY GRAVITY AND A SURFACE TENSION GRADIENT
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2009, Vol 54, Issue 2
Abstract
The flow of a thin layer on a horizontal plate in the lubrication approximation is considered. The flow is driven simultaneously by gravity and some gradients of surface tension. These gradients imply a non-zero tangential stress boundary condition (Marangoni effect).
