Nonlinear dynamics of heated falling films under the influence of long-range Van Der Walls intermolecular force interactions

Thin liquid film flowing on an inclined plane and subjected to various physico-chemical effects such as thermocapillarity, solutal-Marangoni and evaporative instabilities at the film surface and subjected to van der Waals intermolecular interaction forces, has been numerically simulated using explic...
