Abstract
The flow stability of a liquid layer on an inclined plane with account for molecular spin [1, 2] has been considered in [3] in the absence of moment stresses within the liquid. It was shown in [3] that molecular spin has a destabilizing effect on the flow. In the following we study the combined effect of molecular spin and internal moment stresses on the behavior of three-dimensional disturbances. The validity of Squire's theorem is established. The flow stability of a layer of relatively long-wave disturbances is studied by the method of sequential approximations [4, 5] under the assumption that the rotational viscosity coefficient ηr is significantly smaller than the Newtonian viscosity coefficient η.
