Abstract:In this article, we develop a multi-dimensional two-layer thin film model extending the thin film model proposed in \cite{barthwal2025hyperbolic}. The model considered in \cite{barthwal2025hyperbolic} considered a very specific Marangoni scale by choosing Marangoni numbers in both layers to be $1$. We relax this condition here and prove that the obtained system possesses a full set of Riemann invariants. Based on these findings, we develop a Riemann Invariant-based Local Characteristic Decomposition WENO (RI-WENO) method for the two-layer thin film model in one and two dimensions. The method is built upon a specially designed variable transformation constructed from the derived Riemann invariants of the system. This transformation partially diagonalizes the governing equations and yields a sparse structure in the transformed eigenvector matrices. As a result, the proposed RI-WENO framework significantly reduces the computational cost of the standard Local Characteristic Decomposition WENO approach while retaining its strong capability to suppress spurious oscillations. Numerical experiments, including new benchmark test cases, demonstrate that the RI-WENO method achieves an effective balance between accuracy and computational efficiency, making it a promising and practical choice for solving the two-layer thin film model.
