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.

Stability of liquid films on a porous vertical cylinder.
Zijing Ding,Qiu-Sheng Liu +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the stability of liquid films flowing down a vertical porous cylinder shows that the film flow system is more unstable than that on a solid impermeable vertical cylinder and that increasing the permeability of the porous medium enhances the destabilizing effect.
Stabilising falling liquid film flows using feedback control
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss how the dynamics of a falling liquid film can be altered by feedback controls based on observations of the interface height, and supplied to the system via the perpendicular injection and suction of fluid through the wall.
Traveling waves for a model of gravity-driven film flows in cylindrical domains
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the linear stability of traveling wave solutions for a falling viscous film on the interior of a vertical rigid tube and verified these hypotheses over a range of parameter values using a combination of numerical and analytical techniques.
Kapiza waves as a test for three-dimensional granular flow rheology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed long-surface-wave instability in dense granular flows down inclined planes using recently proposed three-dimensional constitutive equations and showed that the proposed rheology is able to capture all the features of the instability quantitatively.
Three-dimensional localized coherent structures of surface turbulence. I. Scenarios of two-dimensional–three-dimensional transition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the instability of 2D pulses to 3D disturbances and the transitions of two-dimensional pulses to fully developed 3D waves and showed that the main instability mechanism responsible for the transition from 2D localized patterns is the Rayleigh instability of well-separated (isolated) 2D solitary waves.

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.
