Abstract

The stability of a dynamic meniscus depends upon its macroscopic curvature. In particular, the critical velocity for the dynamic wetting transition is affected by the meniscus curvature which, as such, emerges as a thickness selection mechanism for liquid film deposition. These ideas have been demonstrated experimentally by flowing water in tubes at high velocities and rationalized by numerical modeling.
