eng Abstract:
Linear stability of the film flow along an oscillating inclined plate is analyzed. Following the previous analyses by Yih (1968), Bajkov et al. (1982), Bauer and Kerczek (1991), Lin et al. (1996), the 2D linearized equations (Orr-Sommerfeld-Floquet) of fluctuating motion for a New-tonian fluid are treated. The long-wave (small wave number a ) asymptotic expansion for the complex-valued celerity coefficient, k = k(a) = R c(a), is solved analytically up to the or-der O(a3). In addition to well-known sufficient conditions for the wavy instability of the film under forced oscillation, the basic wave characteristics of the inception region are given: celer-ity, growth rate, and wavelength.
