Two-Layer Flow with One Viscous Layer in Inclined Channels
We study pressure-driven, two-layer flow in inclined channels with high density and viscosity contrasts. We use a combination of asymptotic reduction, boundary-layer theory and the Karman-Polhausen approximation to derive evolution equations that describe the interfacial dynamics. Two distinguished limits are considered: where the viscosity ratio is small with density ratios of order unity, and where both density and viscosity ratios are small. The evolution equations account for the presence of...
