Abstract
A numerical method is described which allows one to obtain the solutions of the linearized Navier-Stokes equation for the case of wave motion at the air-water interface in the presence of both soluble and insoluble films. The results are shown, and we discuss evidence of two vibration modes, i.e. transversal and longitudinal waves. Their behaviour appears to be closely linked, especially in the case of insoluble films.
