Abstract: An evaluation of the polarised laser-induced fluorescence (PLF-FI) efficiency for the study of the dynamic interfacial tention of liquid thin films flowing without boundaries on solid substrates is presented. Hierarchic cluster analysis (HCS) showed that, as adhesion decreased, similarity among the polarization maps increased.
