Effect of channel width on the primary instability of inclined film flow
(2010)A procedure is developed to detect the onset of interfacial instability in inclined film flows (with estimated accuracy better than 5%) and is used to show that the finite width of experimental channels stabilizes the ... -
Laminar film flow along a periodic wall
(2000)Laminar, gravity-driven flow of a liquid down an inclined wall with large-amplitude sinusoidal corrugations is studied numerically by a spectral spatial discretization method. The synchronous resonance between the wall and ... -
Laminar film flow down a wavy incline
(1997)Laminar how of a liquid, down an inclined wall with sinusoidal corrugations, is considered. A linear analysis, valid for small-amplitude disturbances but arbitrary wavelength and Re number, leads to an Orr-Sommerfeld type ... -
Transient flow and heat transfer phenomena in inclined wavy films
(2004)A finite-element numerical scheme is used to study rigorously the flow of an inclined liquid film and the heat transfer from the constant-temperature wall. Regular inlet disturbances are predicted to evolve into periodic ...
