Abstract Despite the use of liquid films in a wide variety of technical applications involving heat and mass transfer (e.g. nuclear reactors, cooling towers and
gas turbines), where they often play an important role, the underlying momentum and heat transport processes within these thin liquid layers remain
to be fully elucidated. In particular, this applies to the influence that surface waves, developing due to the film’s natural instability, exert on the
mentioned processes. In this context, it has been suggested by several experimental and numerical observations that momentum and heat transfer
in the capillary wave region… More >
