The three-day workshop will examine the fundamental physical mechanisms governing the behaviour of liquid-film flows. Each day will feature a specific theme, approached from theoretical, numerical, experimental, and industrial perspectives. This thematic structure will foster interdisciplinary exchange and deepen understanding of the underlying physics. In addition, emerging research areas, as data-driven experimental processing and theoretical advances (e.g. machine learning enhanced equation discovery or discretisation scheme design for liquid film dynamics), will be well represented across the spectrum of symposium activities, with specific sessions on these topics also acting as focal points in the schedule for the relevant specialists and the wider community.
To strengthen the link between research and practical application, each day will include a keynote presentation by an industry expert. These talks will showcase real-world applications of liquid film technologies and discuss the technical challenges encountered in manufacturing and engineering, providing valuable opportunities to engage directly with practical problems in film flow dynamics.
By leveraging a theme-based instead of a method-based format, this program encourages a more integrated and coherent exploration of each physical phenomenon. Alternating between fundamental theory and real-world application not only sustains audience engagement but also supports cross-disciplinary dialogue. This approach helps participants draw meaningful connections across topics while maintaining a straightforward, problem-oriented narrative throughout the event.
