The role of viscous fingering in the separation mechanics of thin interfacial liquid layers

The mechanics of separation of a thin interfacial liquid layer trapped between two parallel surfaces was studied in a controlled manner. Different liquid viscosities, layer thicknesses and separation velocities were used to investigate the extensional behavior and determine its dependence on viscous...
