Patterns of a liquid film falling across a vertical array of horizontal tubes change from droplet mode at low flow rates to liquid sheet at high flow rates. Between these limits, liquid columns form as a further stable flow pattern. The transition from one flow mode to another occurs via unstable st
Longitudinal rectangular fins loosely clamped to vertical tubes markedly increase the film condensation heat transfer coefficient.

## Abstract The formation of a rising liquid film on the surface of a horizontal metallic mesh tube in the presence of a temperature field is investigated. A numerical model is established to study the behavior of the rising liquid film. For thermocapillary flow, the velocity distribution of the li
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of the formation of the rising liquid thin film and its flow characteristics on the fluted surface of a horizontal tube. By analyzing the wetting behaviors of the fluted tube, which was primarily responsible for the formation of the rising li
