Abstract
The influence of the gravity on the long-wave Marangoni patterns in two-layer films is considered. The numerical analysis is carried out in the lubrication approximation. Periodic boundary conditions have been applied on the boundaries of the computational region. The development of instabilities is investigated by means of nonlinear simulations. The cases of a constant gravity and a time-periodic gravity modulation are considered. In the case of a constant gravity, non-stationary three-dimensional and two-dimensional structures have been found. It is shown that the periodic modulations of the gravity force lead to the development of new three-dimensional spatially-periodic patterns. Outside the region of parameters, corresponding to three-dimensional structures, dynamical regime of two-dimensional traveling waves have been observed.
