Abstract: The interaction of hydrodynamic-wave and thermocapillary perturbations in a locally heated water film flowing down a vertical plate has been experimentally studied using a high-speed IR imager. It is established that, in the presence of fairly high heat fluxes, artificial disturbances can significantly influence the formation of wave structures and the wave flow in the liquid film. Depending on the parameters of waves passing the heater, various scenarios of their transformation into rivulets are possible.
