The result of the move request was: Move to Flow focusing. jonkerz ♠ 10:05, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Flow Focussing → Flow Focusing — As you see "focusing" is misspelled on article name. Eogalla (talk) 08:47, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Whoever the author of this page is please kindly include the following reference as the article as is, is misleading and is not factually correct, in fact the following papaer by Stone et al., is the first of its kind and is the first to coin flow focussing or whatever you fellows want to call it. Enjoy!

please see Title: Formation of dispersions using "flow focusing" in microchannels Author(s): ANNA, SL; BONTOUX, N; STONE, HA Source: APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS Volume: 82 Issue: 3 Pages: 364-366 Published: JAN 20 2003 Times Cited: 507 DOI: 10.1063/1.1537519 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.211.71.239 (talk) 09:09, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Comment. It is not misspelled. The OED lists both spellings. That said google, google scholar and google news suggest the single s version gets more use. Dpmuk (talk) 09:23, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the comment. However "focusing" (only one s) is the standard form used in fluid dynamics and I'd prefer using it as title. Eogalla (talk) 10:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

As I said I was aware that the single s gets more hits and you're right that it appears to get a lot more use in this context (142 google scholar hits with two ss, 2740 with one). I just didn't want people misled by your original statement. Dpmuk (talk) 10:20, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Support. In light of the much greater use of a single s in this field. Dpmuk (talk) 10:20, 11 August 2010 (UTC) Agree that there is no need to capitalise the second word. I hadn't spotted that. Dpmuk (talk) 14:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Support. ≈ Prometheus «talk» 11:03, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Support, but the new title should be Flow focusing. No need to capitalize the second word. Powers ^T 12:52, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Support the move to Flow focusing as new title shouldn't have second word capitalised as per suggestion by Powers. Rob Sinden (talk) 13:32, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
