Abstract
The problem of linear stability of a non-Newtonian fluid film flowing down a vertical plane under the action of gravity is considered. The linear stability of steady-state flow with a plane free boundary and the nonlinear waves that arise if this flow is unstable are investigated. The results obtained for two rheological models, the power-law and Eyring fluids, are compared.
