Abstract: New models of film flows down inclined planes have been derived by combining a gradient expansion at first or second order to weighted residual techniques with polynomials as test functions. The two-dimensional formulation has been extended to account for three-dimensional flows as well. The full second-order two-dimensional model can be expressed as a set of four coupled evolution equations for four slowly varying fields, the thickness h, the flow rate q and two other quantities measuring the departure from the flat-film semi-parabolic velocity profile. A simplified model has been obtained in terms of h and q only. Including viscous dispersion effects properly, it closely sticks to the asymptotic expansion in the appropriate limit. Our new models improve over previous ones in that they remain valid deep into the strongly nonlinear regime, as shown by the comparison of our results relative to travelling-wave and solitary-wave solutions with those of both direct numerical simulations and experiments.

An accurate model for the thin film flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the linear stability of a liquid film flowing down an inclined plane was analyzed using the Karman-Polhausen boundary layer integral method. And the obtained results were found to be in good agreement with the experiments of Liu et al.

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of viscoplastic fluid films falling down an inclined plane is explored, with the aim of determining the critical Reynolds number for the onset of roll waves, based on the Herschel-Bulkley constitutive law.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived an integral boundary layer equation (IBLe) by applying a Galerkin method with a single test and ansatz function, which is consistent with the pertinent Benney equation.

TL;DR: The flow laws of the actual flows at high Reynolds numbers differ considerably from those of the laminar flows treated in the preceding part, denoted as turbulence as discussed by the authors, and the actual flow is very different from that of the Poiseuille flow.
