Mathematical modelling of curtain coating

We present a simple mathematical model for the fluid flow in the curtain coating process, exploiting the small aspect ratio, and examine the model in the large-Reynolds-number limit of industrial interest. We show that the fluid is in free fall except for a region close to the substrate, but find th...
