Taylor stability of viscous fluids with application to film boilingThe dispersion relation is evaluated numerically for Taylor waves in a viscous unstable interface with surface tension. The solution takes account of transverse curvature and the numerical evaluations apply to horizontal cylindrical, as well as to plane, interfaces. The result is verified with frequency and wavelength data obtained during film boiling on horizontal wires. A very general empirical correlation is given, en passant, for the vapor blanket thickness during film boiling.
