Figure Legend:
Neutral curves for θ=0.5′ (a) and θ=4′ (b) for various ζ (nondimensional surface tension number defined by ζ=(3ργ3/gμ4)1/3) for the shear and surface modes. The values of the critical Reynolds number for the surface mode are Rec=5cot(θ)/4= in Fig. 15(a) and Rec= in Fig.15(b). Symbol ′ denotes minute of arc, one minute of arc equals to 1/60 of one degree, i.e., 1′=(1/60) deg. Labels S and U denote stable and unstable zones, respectively.
