Modeling of the Plane Film Flow in Alternating Electromagnetic Field

Abstract

The modeling of a plane film flow affected by alternating electromagnetic field (running EM wave) is considered in the paper. Basic parameters of film flow and specific peculiarities of parametrically excited oscillations in a film flow are studied and discussed for the theory, as well as for the diverse engineering and technological applications. The main attention is focused on the film flow spreading on a solid surface or in another liquid medium with comparably high velocities when inertia forces are playing together with capillary and electromagnetic ones (gravity forces are of lower impact due to high flow velocity). Scientific novelty of present study consists in the revealed new phenomena of the film flow oscillations and available decay or stabilization under appropriate practical statement.
