The thickness of the film entrained by a fiberquicklywithdrawn out of a bath of wetting liquid is of interest. For velocities larger than a threshold (usually of the order of 1 m/s), inertia can no longer be neglected and must be incorporated in a generalized form of the classical Landau–Levich–Deryaguin model. It is shown here that the effect of inertia is to make the film thicker, which agrees with recent observations. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
