Extensional Flow of a Free Film of Nematic Liquid Crystal with Moderate Elasticity
M. J. Taranchuk, L. J. Cummings, T. A. Driscoll +1
Motivated by problems arising in tear film dynamics, we present a model for the extensional flow of thin sheets of nematic liquid crystal. The rod-like molecules of these substance…
Mechanistic determination of tear film thinning via fitting simplified models to tear breakup
Rayanne A. Luke, Richard J. Braun, Carolyn G. Begley
Purpose: To determine whether evaporation, tangential flow, or a combination of the two cause tear film breakup in a variety of instances; to estimate related breakup parameters th…
Parameter Estimation for Mixed-Mechanism Tear Film Thinning
Rayanne A. Luke, Richard J. Braun, Tobin A. Driscoll +2
Etiologies of tear breakup include evaporation-driven, divergent flow-driven, and a combination of these two. A mathematical model incorporating evaporation and lipid-driven tangen…
