Abstract:
      A three-dimensional regularized model (RM) was used to study vertical falling liquid film on a uniformly heated plate with a constant heat flux.Linear stability analysis shows that RM is applicable from small to moderate Reynolds numbers; streamwise growth rate increases as Reynolds number and Marangoni number increase,and spanwise growth rate increases as Marangoni number increases,but decreases as Reynolds number increases; for streamwise and spanwise growth rates,there exists an unstable interval of disturbance wavenumber.Three-dimensional numerical simulation shows that a random disturbance can give rise to three-dimensional rivulet structures after a sufficient evolution of the film layer,and thus heat transfer between liquid and gas is enhanced; the three-dimensional rivulet structures arise earlier and heat transfer is enhanced as long as a dominant most unstable spanwise disturbance is added to the film besides random disturbance,but the rupture of the liquid film occurs earlier; the heat transfer is enhanced and the liquid film doesn't rupture earlier under the circumstance that only a dominant most unstable streamwise disturbance is added besides random disturbances.
