Abstract: Surfaces with topography promote rivulet flow patterns, which are characterized by a high cumulative length of contact lines. This property is very advantageous for evaporators and cooling devices, ...

Abstract: The flow of thin falling liquid films is unstable to longwave disturbances. The flow instability leads to development of waves at the liquid–gas interface. The effect of the waves on heat and mass transfer in falling ...

Abstract: The heat and mass transfer close to the apparent three-phase contact line is of tremendous importance in many evaporation processes. Despite the extremely small dimensions of this region referred to as the microregion ...

Abstract: Falling liquid films are used in many industrial apparatuses. In many cases the film flow along a wall with topography is considered advantageous for intensification of the heat and mass ...
