Abstract
An analysis is presented of the entrance flow region for laminar pseudoplastic falling films emerging from a flat slit and flowing down an inclined flat plate. A nonlinear approach based on the direct method of Galerkin is applied. Solution of the problem gives the dependence of the entrance region length on the initial film thickness, rheological properties of liquid, Reynolds number and the angle of inclination.
