Focusing on the behavior of adhering liquid droplets, this study explores their appearance, deformation, and interaction with surrounding fluids, which is crucial in both engineering and medical fields. It examines specific scenarios such as the de-wetting of aircraft surfaces and the injection of glue for aneurysm treatment. The research delves into various modeling techniques for droplets that remain attached to a wall while subjected to external shear flow, providing insights applicable to practical challenges in these domains.

_______________ 'One of the best books yet written on data and algorithms. . .deserves a place on the bestseller charts.' (The Times) You are accused of a crime. Who would you rather determined your fate - a human or an algorithm? An algorithm is more consistent and less prone to error of judgement. Yet a human can look you in the eye before passing sentence. Welcome to the age of the algorithm, the story of a not-too-distant future where machines rule supreme, making important decisions - in healthcare, transport, finance, security, what we watch, where we go even who we send to prison. So how much should we rely on them? What kind of future do we want? Hannah Fry takes us on a tour of the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us. In Hello World she lifts the lid on their inner workings, demonstrates their power, exposes their limitations, and examines whether they really are an improvement on the humans they are replacing.
