title: NMR velocimetry of falling liquid films.
abstract: First results on NMR velocimetry of falling liquid films are presented. A film of average thickness 1 mm and width 40 mm is sustained by a continuous flow of silicon oil over a vertical plate made from PMMA. The spatial distribution of velocities is measured using a double spin--echo imaging pulse sequence supplemented by a bipolar velocity encoding gradient. Spin density and velocity images as well as two-dimensional velocity maps of different situations, i.e., undisturbed and disturbed falling film flow, are discussed. Experimental and theoretical velocity data for undisturbed film flow are compared.
