Rivulet formulation in the flow of film down a uniformly heated vertical substrate

Three-dimensional regularized weighted residuals model is developed to study vertical falling film on a uniformly substrate with constant heat flux. The model is verified through linear stability analyses in both the stream and the span directions. It is shown that rivulet formation is due to the do...
