Abstrakt: Macroscopic balance method is a classic approximation in the theory of wavy film flows, see Kapitza (1949), Prokopiou et al. (1991), Wein (1993), Hwang (1994). Due to the mathemati-cal complexity of the related Orr-Sommerfeld problem for non-Newtonian liquids, the macro-scopic balance could be the only accessible method of attacking the problem at present. In the present report, we try to improve the macroscopic balance (MB) method for the Newto-nian fluids by (i) including the effect of normal stress changes into the x-moment balance, and (ii) using more realistic estimate of the time-dependent velocity field. Within the 3rd-order long-wave asymptotic expansion, O(a3), the improved MB method provides the results (celerity, criti-cal Reynolds number, wave number, identical with the solution of the related Orr-Sommerfeld problem. The new results indicate that (i) the improved x-momentum macroscopic balance is a correctly formulated functional property of the velocity field, (ii) the similarity velocity fie ld assumption is too simplified to provide a reasonable estimates of the linear stability parameters within the 3rd-order analysis, (iii) the extended similarity profile, correct up to O(a2), guarantees the estimate of the three basic wave characteristics, c, Recrit, a, within the accuracy including O(a3) terms.
