Study of the Intervening Thin Liquid Film between Deformable Oil Drop/Bubble and a Solid Surface in Oil Production
DownloadSpring 2022
Interactions involving deformable bubbles/oil droplets play a critical role in many industrial applications. Understanding the dynamic thin film drainage process and interaction forces involving deformable bubbles/oil droplets and solid surfaces in the oil sands extraction process is of great...
