Abstract

Evolution of disturbances on the surface of liquid film falling free over a vertical plane is considered. In the case of low Reynolds numbers, the problem is reduced to investigation of a single equation describing evolution of film thickness disturbances. With the use of information about the structure of the family of steady-state traveling solutions to this equation, the typical scenarios of evolution for periodic disturbances were identified.
