Abstract

Coating die edges are not mathematical corners, they are rounded. Contact lines do not actually pin. The effects of the radius of curvature of the downstream edge of slot dies on contact line location, effective contact angle, and low‐flow limit—air‐fingers penetrating from downstream and breaking apart the coating‐bead—are examined by solving the Navier‐Stokes system for Newtonian flow. The geometry of the die surface is represented by two straight lines and an arc of circle connecting them. The local contact angle is treated as a specified equilibrium value. The system of equations is solved by Galerkin's method and finite element basis functions. The results show how the edge rounding affects the contact line position and stability of the flow, and indicate the minimum radius of curvature necessary to apparently pin the contact line. © 2005 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2006

This paper presents an inequality satisfied by planar graphs of minimum degree five. For the purposes of this paper, an edge of a graph is light if the weight of the edge, or the sum of the degrees of the vertices incident with it, is at most eleven. The inequality presented shows that planar graph

The reduced magneto-hydro-dynamical (MHD) equations show that the pressure gradient together with the magnetic-field curvature as a force drives the plasma short-wavelength MHD instability in a toroidal system. This paper discusses the role of magnetic curvature of tokamak plasmas in some detail. It
