A thin rivulet or ridge subject to a uniform transverse shear stress at its free surface due to an external airflow by Sullivan, J, Paterson, C, Wilson, S, Duffy, B

“…We use the lubrication approximation to analyse three closely related problems involving a thin rivulet or ridge (i.e. a two-dimensional droplet) of fluid subject to a prescribed uniform transverse shear stress at its free surface due to an external airflow, namely a rivulet draining under gravity down a vertical substrate, a rivulet driven by a longitudinal shear stress at its free surface, and a ridge on a horizontal substrate, and find qualitatively similar behaviour for all three problems. …”
