Abstract
The linear stability of liquid film flow, when the viscosity depends exponentially on temperature, is investigated here for the case of heating or cooling from below by means of an analysis valid for long waves. It is shown that cooling stabilizes the flow, while heating destabilizes it. For the case of cooling, a cutoff Prandtl number exists, above which the flow is stable with respect to long waves.
