Thin FilmAbstract
The linear stability of a thin film of viscous fluid falling down an uneven inclined heated wall is examined. Long wave theory developed by Benny [1] is employed. It is demonstrated that Marangoni effect makes the flow unstable when either the inclination is quite steep or when the bottom undulations are sufficiently short.
