Summary: Thin liquid films flowing down a vertical fiber, known as fiber coating, is a fundamental component in many engineering applications including mass and heat exchangers for thermal desalination, water vapor and ultra-fine particle capture. The main objective of this project is to develop a hybrid numerical and machine learning framework to accelerate the computation and control for large-scale stiff problems that arise from fiber coating systems.
