Dynamics of a Gel-Based Artificial Tear Film with an Emphasis on Dry Disease Treatment Applications

This paper discusses the spreading of gel-based ophthalmic formulation on the cornea surface assumed to be flat. We show that gel-based formulations exhibit rheological behaviors that the Herschel–Bulkley model can describe. The continuity and momentum equations are solved numerically using the mono...
