Abstract
We report hydrodynamic instabilities in thin lipid-water films on a hydrophilic solid substrate (asymmetric soap film), stabilized vertically and in contact to a film balance in a surrounding of saturated humidity. A solitary wave is generated by pushing a lipid monolayer onto the water film. The experimental data fit to a long wave expansion theory by including the Marangoni effect.
