Viscoelastic thin film lubrication in finite width channels
Humayun Ahmed, Luca Biancofiore
Lubricant viscoelasticity arises due to a finite polymer relaxation time () and can provide beneficial effects. In applications, such as bearings, gears, biological joints, etc.…
The stability analysis of volatile liquid films in different evaporation regimes
Omair A. A. Mohamed, Luca Biancofiore
We investigate the role of the evaporation regime on the stability of a volatile liquid film flowing over an inclined heated surface while considering the dynamics of both the liqu…
The effect of side walls on the stability of falling films
Hammam Mohamed, Jorn Sesterhenn, Luca Biancofiore
We study the influence of side walls on the stability of falling liquid films. We combine a temporal biglobal stability analysis based on the linearized Navier-Stokes equations wit…
Linear and nonlinear stability of a quasi-geostrophic mixing layer subject to a uniform background shear
Luca Biancofiore, Orkan M. Umurhan
The aim of this work is to shed light by revisiting - through the kernel-wave (KW) perspective - the breakdown of a quasi-geostrophic (QG) mixing layer (or vortex strip/filament) i…
