Optimal regimes of heat-mass transfer in a falling film (Q2505109)

A semi-parabolic velocity profile, which is known as a good approximation of the velocity distribution for thin liquid layers are used for thin liquid films. Then the hydrodynamical parameters are calculated by solving the Kapitsa-Shkadov system with the boundary conditions, where the natural waves are modeled by random perturbations and forced waves are modeled by periodic oscillations. Optimal frequences of forced inlet disturbances that enhance the mass transfer are found. Numerical simulations are made using a finite difference method (explicit scheme).
