Abstract
⺠We examine the spanwise stability of a surfactant-laden film climbing up a plane. ⺠Small-amplitude disturbances are introduced in the linearised base-state equations. ⺠In the constant-flux case the thinnest region is unstable to finger formation. ⺠For finite-volume spreading, the gravity-force-induced capillary ridge is unstable. ⺠Increasing the initial micellar concentration leads to stabilising effects.
