Abstract
Résumé

A new evolution equation coherent up to order one in the long wave parameter is derived to describe the non-linear behavior of a thin film flow down an inclined plane of a power law fluid for small to moderate Reynolds numbers. The method we have used combines the lubrication theory and the weighted residual approach, with a suitable weighting function. That approach was first developed by Ruyer-Quil and Manneville (2000) for Newtonian fluids. The model has the advantages of both the Shkadov type approach far from criticality and that of Benney close to criticality.

Un modèle non linéaire, cohérent à l'ordre un et combinant les avantages de l'approche asymptotique de Benney et de la méthode intégrale de Shkadov est proposée pour décrire le comportement d'un film mince de fluide en loi de puissance pour des nombres de Reynolds petits et modérés. La procédure utilisée est inspirée de la méthode des résidus pondérés développée par Ruyer-Quil et Manneville (2000) dans le cadre des fluides Newtoniens.
