On the Marangoni flow on an inclined plane

Abstract

We consider the flow of a uniform thin layer (rivulet, trickle) of viscous fluid down an inclined plane driven simultaneously by a surface tension gradient. Using a lubrication approximation we determine the rates of flow due to various tension gradients.
