The evolution of an advancing fluid front formed by a gravity-driven thin film flowing down a planar substrate is considered, with particular reference to the presence of Marangoni stresses and/or surface topography. The system is modelled using lubr... Read More about Gravity-driven thin film flow: The influence of topography and surface tension gradient on rivulet formation.
