Abstract

We consider a thin liquid layer of a transverse triangular section, situated on an inclined solid plane. On the liquid-gas interface a surface tension gradient acts along or against gravity.

We simplify the equations of motion (Navier-Stokes and continuity) to obtain a linear diffusion equation supplied with mixed boundary conditions, i.e., a Dirichlet one on the solid walls of the section and a Robin boundary condition on the liquid-gas interface.

A Galerkin finite element procedure along with a Crank-Nicolson finite difference scheme, in order to march in time, are used to solve this initial/boundary value problem.

Some numerical experiments are carried out. They determine numerically the flow field for various values of tension gradients.
