Research Abstract

Two-dimensional waves first occur on a falling liquid film, and then they develop into the horseshoe-shaped waves holding vortices. The latter waves may have the common or similar characteristics to the horseshoe-shaped vortices arising from a viscous (laminar) sublayer in a turbulent boundary layer. In the present work, we investigated the evolution of the two-dimensional waves, the dynamics of the horseshoe-shaped waves and the associated gas absorption.
At large wave frequencies, nearly sinusoidal waves appear on the film and are decelerating as they are growing. At small frequencies, tear-drop-shaped solitary waves occur and show acceleration. Then they gradually increase the transverse disturbances and change into the horseshoe-shaped waves. At intermediate frequencies, transition from single-peaked waves to double-peaked waves and vice versa are observed.
When putting transverse disturbances of constant wavelength, λ_h on the two-dimensional solitary waves, the waves are stable to the disturbances of λ_h = 30 mm or less at small Reynolds numbers Re. The waves are unstable to the disturbances at intermediate and large Reynolds numbers, and develop into the horseshoe-shaped waves. The waves are more unstable to the transverse disturbances of shorter wavelength, and the growth rate of the disturbance increases with Re.
The transition of gas absorption of a falling film occurs at Re - 40, and the present experimental results show that the transition of gas absorption is caused by the transition from two-dimensional waves to horseshoe-shaped waves.
