Spreading rate and dispersion behavior of evaporation-suppressant monolayer on open water surfaces: Part 1 – At zero wind stress
Gavin Brink, Andrew P. Wandel, Nigel Hancock, Selvan Pather · Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science (2017)
Key finding (our summary)
Examines how an evaporation-suppressant monolayer spreads and disperses on open water, a key control on whether a film stays intact long enough to be effective.
Spreading and re-forming behaviour largely determines how often a monolayer must be reapplied.
