A few Landau-Levich films
COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited
Abstract
We describe a few situations which produce a Landau-Levich films, such as the withdrawal of a solid plate out of a bath of wetting liquid~or the air withdrawal by a jet plunging in a bath of liquid. We show why such antagonist situations can be described by similar arguments. We also discuss the shape and the stability of the film, and the way it bursts, in particular when it is surrounded by a viscous environment.
