Wave Dynamics and Stability of Thin Film Flow Systems
Balakrishnan, Uma
The work considers some free surface problems and attempts to understand the intrinsic complex behavior of waves in thin films down an inclined plane or vertical wall. The viscous Newtonian thin film or non-Newtonian inelastic power-law film or viscoelastic film down an inclined plane or vertical wall is considered and dynamics of waves and stability characteristics of thin film flow systems are analyzed. The investigations are based on the de...
