Influence of side walls and undulated topography on viscous film flow

This book is dealing with the behaviour of viscous gravity-driven film flow in two- and three-dimensional environments. It is investigated how the development of eddy structures can be influenced by undulated topographies. The presence of side-walls in the channel cannot be neglected under certain conditions - The flow becomes three-dimensional. This influences the linear stability of the flow, significantly.
