Experimental characterization of interfacial wave structure of a falling liquid film in a vertical large pipe diameter (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hasan, A., Azzopardi, B., Hewakandamby, B., AlAufi, Y., Watson, N., & Mohammed, S. (2016, May). Experimental characterization of interfacial wave structure of a falling liquid film in a vertical large pipe diameter. Presented at 9th International Conference of Multiphase Flow, ICMF, Italy

There is considerable literature on the thicknesses of falling liquid films, much of which is focussed on either flat plates or small diameter pipes. Many studies provide time series data of the film thickness at one or two points on the pipe wall. T...
