Numerical simulation of non-isothermal thin liquid film flow on inclined plane using an implicit finite difference scheme

The classical problem of the stability and dynamics of thin liquid films on solid surfaces has been studied extensively. Particularly, thin liquid films subjected to various physico-chemical effects such as thermocapillarity, solutal-Marangoni and evaporative instabilities at the film surface has...
