Modeling the effect of temperature-induced surface tension gradient in coating processes

The coating of the fluorescent-lamp material inside the fluorescent tube is prone to defect such as dark line formation. A one-dimensional mathematical model based on Navier-Stokes equation, which describes the flow of drying coating on horizontal planar substrates, was developed to investigate the...
