Abstract

Unsteady two-layer liquid film flow on a horizontal rotating disk is analyzed using asymptotic method for small values of Reynolds number. This analysis of non-linear evolution equation elucidates how a two-layer film of uniform thickness thins when the disk is set in uniform rotation. It is observed that the final film thickness attains an asymptotic value at large time. It is also established that viscous force dominates over centrifugal force and upper layer thins faster than lower layer at large time.
