The primary instability of a visco-plastic film flow down an inclined plane was experimentally studied. Controlled perturbations were used to generate surface waves, and the downstream evolution was observed to obtain growth rates, cutoff frequencies, and critical Reynolds and Bingham numbers. The experimental stability map was well described by the pseudo-plug model, but a more accurate model is needed for dispersion effects.
We study experimentally the primary instability of a visco-plastic film flow down an inclined plane. The experimental set-up is a channel with a varying slope angle, in which a permanent flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid (carbopol or kaolin) is established. Controlled perturbations are imposed at the entrance of the channel to generate surface waves, and their downstream evolution is observed with a laser sensor system measuring the local fluid thickness. Growth rates and cutoff frequencies are obtained after processing the thickness signal, and experimental critical Reynolds and Bingham numbers are deduced. We find that the experimental stability map obtained is well described by the pseudo-plug model of Balmforth & Liu (J. Fluid Mech., vol, 519, 2004, pp. 33-54), a model obtained after neglecting the film thickness compared with its length. This is not the case for dispersion effects (growth rates, cutoff frequencies, phase speeds), for which a more accurate model is needed.
