Bs. Dandapat et Pc. Ray, THE EFFECT OF THERMOCAPILLARITY ON THE FLOW OF A THIN LIQUID-FILM ON A ROTATING-DISC, Journal of physics. D, Applied physics, 27(10), 1994, pp. 2041-2045
Gradual formation of a thin liquid film on a hot/cold rotating disc un
der the action of thermocapillary force is studied analytically. It is
found that the thermocapillary force acting on the free surface enhan
ces the thinning rate for cooling the disc.
