Abstract

Situations arise where it is required to strip a moving liquid film from a boundary wall. The need to sample wet steam isokinetically is one such situation. Equally it is sometimes desirable for a film not to separate from a boundary wall as in, for example, liquid separators. A theoretical analysis is developed to examine the radial stress distribution within a uniformly thin liquid film flowing around a sharp bend of fixed radius. The results of the analysis are discussed in the light of experimental observations. The controlling parameters in the film flow are identified and are evaluated for a given situation. © 1985.
