Conclusion • The cases of 2D-3D transition due to natural transverse instability of 2D waves and forced transition due to destruction of 2D waves were investigated experimentally. • Natural 2D-3D transition is observed when Re>30 for water and when Re>12 for WGS. • Sufficient redistribution of liquid in transverse direction in process of 2D-3D transition for isothermal film flow has been revealed. For investigated regimes time-averaged local film thickness can differs up to 30 – 40% on the transverse distances compatible with transverse size of “jets”.
