Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the flow patterns of a falling liquid film as observed near an obstacle on a flow channel. In this report, a bend on the channel was chosen as ...

Abstract: A small particle floating on a liquid meniscus surface near a vessel wall tends to approach the wall spontaneously. This particle behavior was theoretically investigated. Because of the solid-liquid ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate macroscopic wetting behavior and to verify the validity of the assumption made in the analysis of the preceding report that the complicated effects ...

Abstract: Flow characteristics in stationary two-pass channels with a sharp 180-deg turn have been measured using LDV (laser Doppler velocimeter), directing special attention to the influence of the size ...

Abstract: A new method is proposed for measuring solid-liquid contact angles. The well-known phenomenon where the liquid meniscus formed under a downward facing solid surface spontaneously breaks at a ...
