N2 - Cables of cable-stayed bridges can experience rain-wind induced vibrations. When flowing along a cable, the water gathers near the separation points to form one or two rivulets. In this paper, we address the conditions for the rivulets to form. A two-dimensional model is developed within the lubrication theory. It describes the evolution of a thin film submitted to gravity, surface tension, and wind. Numerical simulations show the appearance of the rivulets.
