The paper describes the dynamics of flow in thin volatile layers on a heated plate where the instabilities due to the evaporation and the mean flow changes are important. Thus, the authors consider the three-dimensional layers, with particular attention to nonlinear effects of coupled instabilities. First, the horizontal volatile layers heated from below and the volatile layers on a vertical plane are studied. This linear stability analysis shows that the mean flow changes and the vapor recoil induce surface-wave and evaporative instabilities, respectively. Further, it is shown that the evolution of volatile layers with vapor recoil is very similar to that of non-volatile layers with thermocapillarity studied earlier in the literature.
