Title
Cleaning of a model food soil from horizontal plates by a moving vertical water jet
Summary
Experimental investigation of removal of thin Xanthan gum layers on flat horizontal plates by a coherent water jet impinging normally on the plate. Removal was monitored by a fluorescence technique. The curved shape and final width of the cleaning front was predicted by a first order peeling model based on the momentum flow in the film.
Novel/notable aspects
Early example of coupled flow in cleaning

Chem. Eng. Sci. (2014) 123, 450-459
