Unsteady shear-stress-driven rivulets flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian power-law fluids with strong surface-tension effect / Aina Sharina Muhammad Badrollddin

Studying thin-film flow provides several significant advantages in both scientific and practical contexts. Understanding the behaviour of thin-films under various conditions is crucial for optimising a wide range of industrial processes. This research investigates the thin-film flow of rivulets for...
