Abstract

The paper presents a mathematical model of the film flow over a half-plane directed at an angle to the horizon. In the cross section of the film, a quadratic law for the longitudinal velocity distribution is adopted, taking into account friction on the film surface. An approximate solution of the problem is obtained in the form of a series in powers of the small parameter. The solution is presented in the form of graphs of the film thickness and the average longitudinal velocity along the length of the plate.
