Profile of the liquid film wetting a channel
Résumé
We have developed a simple optical technique to investigate the characteristics of liquid films wetting solid surfaces. To validate this technique, we have studied the wetting film that separates a train of lamellas moving through a channel. Total reflection of the laser beam on the wetting film/air interface is used to extract the profile and the thickness of the wetting film. For quasistatic movement of lamellas, we show that the thickness is well described by a capillary number power law.
