Abstract

Discussed in this investigation is the three-dimensional gravity-driven flow of a thin fluid layer down an incline and over topography. A new three-dimensional integral-boundary-layer (IBL) model is proposed to describe the flow. Numerical simulations are presented and comparisons with lubrication and two-dimensional IBL models are discussed for both steady and unsteady flows. Subcritical and supercritical cases are considered, along with symmetrical and asymmetrical bottom topographies. Also, good agreement was found with experiments.
