The dynamics of a self-rewetting film falling along a vertical fiber under the influence of gravity are considered. The evolution equation of the interface of the self-rewetting film is established in the framework of a long-wave approximation theory. The effect of thermocapillarity (Marangoni effect) on the absolute/convective instability (AI/CI) is investigated for self-rewetting fluids of which the surface tension is a quadratic function of the temperature at the surface. The effect of thermocapillarity on the Rayleigh-Plateau instability is investigated by examining the dispersion relation. The characteristics of self-rewetting fluids are considered for different Marangoni numbers (Ma) in different regions of absolute/convective instability using a spatio-temporal stability analysis. Numerical simulations of the nonlinear evolution in various regions of absolute/convective instability are also performed. The results of numerical simulations are in excellent agreement with the spatio-temporal stability analysis. The effect of thermocapillarity on absolute and convective instability depends on the difference between the temperature at the interface, and the temperature corresponding the minimum surface tensionΘ0. The results indicate that the thermocapillarity suppresses the absolute instability and enhances the convective instability asMaincreases when, and enhances the absolute instability asMaincreases when.
