Abstract : Solitary-wave solutions to surface equations or two-equation models of film flows are investigated within the framework of dynamical system theory. The limiting behaviour of one-humped solitary waves (homoclinic orbits) at large Reynolds numbers is considered. Their predicted speed is in good agreement with numerical findings. The theory also explains the absence of solitary-wave solutions to the Benney equation in the same limit. © 2005 Cambridge University Press.
