Stability of a liquid thread and stability and nonlinear evolution of multi-layer fluid flow
… layer. Single and multi-layer fluid flow down an inclined plane is studied with the emphasis on the effect of an insoluble surfactant. Bilayer and trilayer flow down an inclined plane is considered. The main point of interest here is the existence of multiple unstable modes for a single set of …

Design of a test apparatus to study a proposed dynamic tissue puncture model
… is a modified drop test; however, it is on an inclined plane in order to reduce the effects of gravity when attempting to achieve lower speeds.

Asymptotic studies of gravity-driven reacting coating flows and pultrusion processes
… gravity-driven reacting coating flows down an inclined plane. When the reaction activation energy is large and heat release is significant, long wave theory and large activation energy asymptotics are applied jointly to derive a consistent set of governing equations, which describe wave …

Characterization of Uranium Carbide Microspheres In An Inert Zirconium Carbide Matrix For Gas Fast Reactors
… microspheres was developed involving an inclined plane. Metallography was done using the LECO SS-1000 grinder/polisher system. Quantitative analysis and imagery were gathered using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), back scattering electron microscopy (BSE), electron microprobe for …

Mathematical problems arising in interfacial electrohydrodynamics
… a perfectly conducting thin film flow down an inclined plane in the presence of an electric field which is uniform in its undisturbed state, and normal to the plate at infinity. In addition, the effect of normal electric fields on films lying above, or hanging from, horizontal substrates is …

Controlled emulsion droplet solvent evaporation for particle production
… nanocrystals, in emulsion films flowing down an inclined plane. The temperature and the solvent evaporation configuration are shown to have a significant effect on the transport behavior of the solvent and droplets. The potential of the inclined plane system in particle production is established, …

Instabilities in particle-laden flows
… instabilities in particle-laden flows down an inclined plate are experimentally investigated and compared to theoretical predictions and scaling analysis. One of the fundamental coating flow geometries is the simple wetting of an inclined plane by a thin and uniform liquid film draining under …

On the rolling motion of viscous fluid on a rigid surface
… is viscous droplets rolling down a non-wettable inclined plane. The recent experiments show that the contact angle is very large (close to 180 ) when a droplet rolls on a super-hydrophobic surface. The biharmonic boundary element method (BBEM) is used to implement numerical simulations of rolling …

Reduced model for particle laden flow
… that when a clear viscous fluid flows down an inclined surface under gravity, after some time, the initially straight contact line becomes unstable with respect to transverse perturbations. Clear fluid is easier to use in experiments, but industrial processes usually involve particulates in the …

Thermal stratification in solar storage tanks
… data was used to compute radiation income on any inclined plane and the output to the power regulator is controlled by the computed instantaneJus rate of energy gain from the collector system undergoing simulation.A comparison has been made between some of the experimental and theoretical results …

Recurrent Gait of Anthropomorphic, Bipedal Walkers
… that can sustain anthropomorphic gait down an inclined plane with gravity being the only source of energy were studied using standard dynamical systems methods. This includes calculating the stability of periodic orbits and varying the system parameter to create bifurcation diagrams and to …

Spreading of viscous fluids and granular materials on slopes
… by considering dense granular flows down a rough inclined plane. Granular materials released down a slope can produce a flowing structure confined by levees or trigger avalanches at regular intervals, depending on the steady rate of supply. The experimental results are discussed using theoretical …

Multi-scale multiphase modelling of granular flows
… configuration, permeability, and slope of the inclined plane on the flow. The effect of hydrodynamic forces on the run-out evolution is analysed by comparing the energy dissipation and flow evolution between dry and immersed conditions.

Some problems in low Reynolds number environmental flows
… with cylinders of various cross-sections on an inclined plane. The cylinders are oriented with their axis perpendicular to the plane and are sufficiently tall so that they are not overtopped. For relatively shallow flows, there is a ‘pond’ of nearly stationary fluid upstream of the cylinder and …

Developing a mechanistic model for flow through a perforated plate with application to screening of particulate materials
… the particle motion along a dynamic (vibrating) inclined plane. Central to this understanding is the notion that granular systems exhibit a unique rheology that is not observed in fluids; i.e. neither Newtonian nor non-Newtonian. It is thus imperative to fully quantify the granular rheology, …
