Abstract

A three-dimensional mathematical model that describes the flow of a thin film of water driven by air shear, gravity, surface tension, and ambient pressure variation over a solid substrate is derived. The one-dimensional version is then analyzed and numerical solutions for the fluid film height and velocity obtained. After further simplifying assumptions, a number of formulas that relate film heights and average velocities to the strength of the air shear or gravity effects are also presented
