Abstract
A study is made of the instability of a film of viscous liquid adjacent to a gas flow. Despite a number of investigations, there is no unified theory of this problem capable of explaining the experimental results of different authors. The present paper gives a solution of the problem that is valid for a large class of flows of liquid films in the case of laminar and turbulent flow of the gas.
