Abstract
The container shape to minimise volume of draining fluid on container walls is found. ► Centrifugal draining is most effective in containers with large radius. ► Fluid film thickness is described by similarity solutions at large time. ► Optimal shape for shear thinning fluid has larger radius than for Newtonian fluid.
