Abstract: An isothermal theory of fluid-film flows of differential fluids of complexity n is developed on the basis of a complete dimensional analysis. Within that particular geometrical configuration and ...

Abstract: This paper is a theoretical investigation into the problem of the isothermal laminar flow of a Rivlin-Ericksen fluid of complexity n between arbitrary two bidimensional surfaces separated by a ...

Abstract: The bidimensional flow equations of a Stokesian fluid are solved for the case of steady, incompressible, and laminar flow between two arbitrary moving surfaces separated by a small gap. The ...

Abstract: The general framework deals with the winding of thin plastic films, in order to obtain good-quality rolls. This issue is tightly connected to the thickness of the residual air layer entrapped ...

Abstract: The working characteristics of a finite width slider bearing lubricated by a non-Newtonian fluid are computed. The analysis proposed here allows its performances to be evaluated by means of a ...

Abstract: This paper deals with coextrusion flows of two compatible polymers which are known to be generally more stable than the same flows of incompatible systems. We show that the weak response to ...
