Examining the flow of fluids, scientists have conducted a study of the interface between two liquids, focusing on a force called interfacial tension. Their numerical simulation helped them better ...

Thin liquid films play a crucial role in a wide range of natural and industrial processes, from microfluidic device operation to advanced heat exchanger design. Their behaviour is dictated by the ...

Mathematical theory of hydrodynamic states; energy methods, linear theories, and nonlinear bifurcation theories. Convective, centrifugal, and shear flow instabilities. Instability of unsteady flows ...

Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...
