Abstract
The magnitude of vapor flow accompanying the surface-melted liquid flow in physisorbed multilayer films due to thermomolecular pressures was estimated. It was found that the vapor flow is significant compared to the flow of the surface-melted liquid in thick films. As the flows continue, the film thickness profile evolves into one determined by a dynamic equilibrium of vapor pressure. The flow of surface-melted liquid stops when the dynamic equilibrium is reached.
