The growth of fingers which develop at the three-phase contact line at the front of a thin film
of silicone oil flowing down an inclined plane is studied, and the results compared with those
of a recent theoretical treatment of the problem [Troian et al., Europhys. Lett. 10, 25 (1989)].
When the finger length and time are scaled appropriately, the qualitative features of the
theoretical predictions are confirmed.

Abstract
The growth of fingers which develop at the three-phase contact line at the front of a thin film of silicone oil flowing down an inclined plane is studied, and the results compared with those of a recent theoretical treatment of the problem [Troian et al., Europhys. Lett. 10, 25 (1989)]. When the finger length and time are scaled appropriately, the qualitative features of the theoretical predictions are confirmed.
