Abstract: Problems of parametric excitation and suppression of oscillations of a film surface at strong action of the inertia forces are considered theoretically and in a wide range of applications (fast-moving films represent the new, earlier almost unstudied class of flows with free boundaries). Mathematical models obtained allowed studying the peculiarities of the film flows affected by electromagnetic field and vibrations. The results obtained may be of interest for granulation machines and another application and allow predicting reaction of the interfacial boundary of media to parametric influence. The following regularities of the new class of film flows have been determined:
- in case of plainly spreading film flows the superficial waves are practically undispersiv, whereas radially spreading are significantly dispersing by ;
- in radially spreading film flow the phase and group speeds of the superficial and electromagnetic waves, in a contrast to the plainly spreading film flows, don't coincide that makes essential difference of two types of films and causes difficulties of parametric excitation of oscillations on a surface of radially spreading films of the set type. The non-linear oscillations revealed the next features:
- in case of long-wave fluctuations of a film surface an energy of unperturbed flow is pumped into a kinematic wave via the wave mechanism of the highest order; thus excitement of dynamic waves demands an electromagnetic field of high intensity. Gravitational and viscous forces promote a pumping of film perturbations;
- capillary waves are defined by Weber and Alfwen criteria and a type of an electromagnetic field or vibrations due to which there is a pumping of perturbations. Viscous forces do not play essential role defining only pulsations of wave fronts;
- the soliton type solutions for vibration excitation of oscillations on a film surface, unlike electromagnetic, are absent, though the equation describing evolution of a film surface contains derivatives of the corresponding terms of KDV;
- at big vibro-overloads (vibrational acceleration comparing to gravitational acceleration, Vibrational Euler number ) the process is described by the modified Burgers equation, i.e. available appearance of shock waves on a film flow; similar process on radially spreading film flow differs by special complexity;
- the condition of a vibro-dispersing was defined, i.e. separation of drops from a film surface at excess of critical value of a vibro-overload when the package of kinematic waves on a film surface turns into system of the separate small jets, which are generators of drops; as all small jets are nearly identical owing to constancy of length of standing or kinematic waves, disintegration of a film happens with narrow dispersive distribution. Especially - in case of a parametric resonance of the system.
