TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the entrainment and flow of a thin film of liquid on a vertically rotating disc partially immersed in a liquid bath and found that the film thickness stabilises following a rotation of 15° after drag out of the liquid, and remains so until 10° before being dragged back in.

Experimental Investigation on Transition Characteristics of Different Rotary Disk Configurations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the liquid granulation process on the rotary disks and proposed the transition maps, and the effects of operational conditions and liquid properties on transition characteristics were analyzed, showing that the broadest transition area from ligament to sheet was indentified in arc-edge disk, while the narrowest area appeared in bulged-block disk.

The drag-out problem in film coating theory

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Landau-Levich result is an asymptotic solution valid as the capillary number tends to zero, a fact not properly appreciated hitherto, and showed how correction terms may be obtained by the method of matched expansions.

Design of micromixers using CFD modelling

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of various geometrical parameters of a grooved staggered herringbone micromixer on the mixing performance has been investigated using computational fluid dynamics, and the results show that the number of grooves per mixing cycle does not affect the mixing quality in an important way.
