Abstract

Gravity and surface-tension effects are examined for inviscid–inviscid interactions between two fluids close to a wall. The ratios of density and viscosity of the two fluids are taken to be small. A nonlinear integro–differential equation is found to govern the near-wall flow velocity, interface shape and pressure; analysis, computation and comparisons are then applied. Travelling-state solutions are of particular interest.
