The presence of surface-active material may modify appreciably the flow patterns in two-phase flows. A frequently employed model for the surface adsorption process is used to derive similarity conditions for such flows. The limitations of this model are discussed in relation to the formation of surface films on open channel flow of water containing dilute surfactant.
