The no-slip condition for viscous fluids assumes that at a solid boundary , the fluid will
have zero velocity relative to the boundary . The fluid velocity at all fluid –solid boundaries
is equal to the of the solid boundary .
For slip condition the fluid will have some velocity relative to the boundary and the fluid
velocity at all fluid –solid boundaries is not equal to the [Link] with most of the
engineering approximations, the no-slip condition does not always hold in reality. For
example, at a very low pressure (e.g. at high altitude), even when the the continuum
approximation still holds there may be so few molecules near the surface that they ―bounce
along‖ down the surface. A common approximation for fluid slip is

LITERATURE REVIEW
Over the years, the phenomena of thin film flow (flow of a fluid in thin layer) have ever been a
hot cake for any researcher and scientists. The study of thin film flow on vertical
objects(lift/drainage) have the attracted various researchers since 1st quarter of 20th century
because of its profuse occurrence and application in nature and industry.

SUMMARY OF LITRATURE REVIEW
• This study analytically examines thin film flow characteristics of temperature-dependent Phan-
Thien-Tanner (PTT) viscoelastic fluids, focusing on lift and drainage mechanisms influenced by
boundary slip. Using perturbation techniques, the research derives velocity and temperature profiles
for three PTT models Upper Convected Maxwell (UCM), Linear PTT (LPTT), and Quadratic PTT
(QPTT)revealing distinct behaviors: in lifting flows, slip enhances velocity while viscoelasticity
(Deborah number, De) and viscous heating (Brinkman number, Br) increase temperature; in drainage
flows, elasticity and inclination angles boost speed, but slip reduces drainage rates, with QPTT fluids
exhibiting superior drainage but greater thermal effects compared to UCM fluids, which excel in
lifting. The PTT model‘s ability to capture shear-thinning and molecular polymer interactions makes
it ideal for industrial applications like coatings, lubrication, and biomedicine. Historical context
highlights early theoretical gaps (e.g., neglected surface tension), while modern methodologies
employ perturbation methods and dimensionless parameters (Re, De, Br) to analyze nonlinear
dynamics. Key findings underscore the interplay of rheology, thermal effects, and slip conditions,
offering a theoretical foundation for optimizing non-Newtonian fluid processes in engineering and
material science.

RESEARCH GAP
Previous research has addressed thin film flow of PTT fluids under either slip or no-slip
conditions, but in isolation. Studied no-slip flow without considering viscosity variation[42].
On slip effects but assumed constant viscosity and did not analyze multiple PTT
models[29].Incorporated temperature-dependent viscosity using Reynolds‘ model but under no-
slip conditions only[28]. None of the existing studies examined lift and drainage phenomena
simultaneously. Moreover, no analytical solution using the perturbation method has been
reported for variable viscosity under slip across UCM, LPTT, and QPTT models. This study

1. SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
This study is significant because it provides a precise analytical framework to control
viscoelastic thin film flows, which are critical in many industries. Its key importance lies
in resolving the fundamental trade-off between lifting and drainage.
Solves the Lift-Drainage Paradox: It offers predictive models to simultaneously
optimize two opposing actions: enhancing fluid lifting for coating vertical surfaces
and accelerating drainage for removing excess fluid.
Challenges Intuition on Surface Slipperiness: It reveals that a slippery surface
(boundary slip) is not always beneficial. While slip aids in lifting flows, it
unexpectedly hinders drainage. This forces a re-evaluation of surface design in fluid
applications.
Guides Material Selection: It provides a direct comparison of Phan-Thien-Tanner
models, showing that:
QPTT fluids are best for rapid drainage.
UCM-like fluids are superior for efficient lifting.
This enables targeted selection of fluid rheology for specific tasks.
Enables Industrial Optimization: The findings directly impact the optimization of
industrial processes—such as coating, polymer extrusion, and microfluidics—by
providing the theoretical basis to control flow through fluid elasticity, slip conditions,
and thermal effects, leading to less waste and higher product quality. 22
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Lift Problem
Consider a container filled with an incompressible Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) fluid. A wide
.
belt moves vertically upward through this fluid with a constant velocity U, picking up a thin
film of uniform thickness δ. Due to gravity, the fluid experiences a downward drainage force,
creating a competing flow mechanism. The flow is assumed to be steady, parallel, and laminar,
with the surrounding pressure maintained at atmospheric conditions.

draining down an infinite inclined plane. The flow is driven solely by gravity, with no external
pressure forces applied. The fluid film maintains a uniform thickness along the plane as it
moves downward. A coordinate system is chosen such that the y-axis is perpendicular to the
inclined plane, while the x-axis runs along the plane, which is inclined at an angle to the
horizontal.

Equation of Continuity :
The equation of continuity states the law of mass conservation, i.e there is a stability
between the masses entering or leaving over a control volume per unit time.
Mathematically the equation of continuity for compressible flow of liquid is,

Conclusion
This research studies the flow of a thin film using a Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) fluid,
considering temperature-sensitive viscosity and wall slip. Using a perturbation method,
velocity and temperature profiles are derived, providing insight into the fluid's lifting
behavior.
Results show that slip conditions reduce wall resistance, increasing lift speed beneficial
for coating and lubrication. Higher Brinkman number, Deborah number, and
elongational parameters slow the flow, highlighting the opposing effects of viscous
heating and elasticity, while also raising temperature. Among PTT models, simpler
ones like UCM enable faster lifting, while complex ones produce stronger thermal
effects. These findings help optimize thin-film systems and suggest future work on
transient flows and complex geometries.

CONCLUSION
This study examines the draining flow of a temperature-sensitive thin film. It finds that while
fluid elasticity and slope help the fluid drain faster, the presence of slip at the boundary
The temperature consistently rises with all key parameters, mainly due to internal friction.
Among different fluid models, the more complex ones provide better drainage but also
generate more heat. These insights are crucial for designing efficient industrial drainage
systems, like in coating processes, where managing both flow speed and temperature is vital.
100
Future work Suggestions
This study regarding thin film flows of Phan-Thien-Tanner fluids with viscosity dependent on
temperature indicates several key areas for future research that could expand and improve the
existing results:
First, the analysis could be expanded to incorporate transient flow regimes, examining the
temporal evolution of both lifting and drainage phenomena. Such an extension would be
particularly relevant for industrial processes involving start-up and shut-down phases, where
time-dependent effects become significant.
Second, a more comprehensive treatment of thermal effects could be developed by including
heat transfer mechanisms with the surrounding environment. This would enable examination
of cases with substantial temperature gradients, which commonly occur in practical
applications.
Third, the current assumption of perfectly smooth surfaces could be relaxed to investigate the
influence of surface roughness on both the slip boundary condition and overall flow
characteristics. This extension would provide more realistic modeling of industrial surfaces.
Fourth, the two-dimensional framework could be extended to three dimensions to properly
account for edge effects and lateral variations that occur in real-world coating applications.
Such an analysis would require development of new analytical approaches or numerical
methods.
101
Future work Suggestions
Fifth, experimental validation of the theoretical predictions would significantly strengthen the
practical applicability of the results. This would involve designing appropriate experimental
setups capable of measuring velocity and temperature profiles in thin film flows of
viscoelastic fluids.
Sixth, the development of computational fluid dynamics simulations could complement the
analytical solutions presented here, allowing investigation of more complex geometries and
boundary conditions that are analytically intractable.
Finally, the current work could be extended to examine multi-layer thin film flows composed
of different viscoelastic fluids, which would be valuable for understanding advanced coating
processes involving stratified layers.
These extensions would significantly advance both the theoretical understanding and
practical application of thin film flows of complex fluids, while maintaining the rigorous
analytical approach established in the present work.
