We study pressure-driven, two-layer flow in inclined channels with high density and viscosity contrasts. We use a combination of asymptotic reduction, boundary-layer theory and the Karman-Polhausen approximation to derive evolution equations that describe the interfacial dy- namics. Two distinguished limits are considered: where the viscosity ratio is small with density ratios of order unity, and where both density and viscosity ratios are small. The evolution equa- tions account for the presence of inertia, gravity, capillarity and viscous retardation; attention is restricted to situations in which the flow is laminar. The results of our linear stability analysis and numerical simulations indicate that the flow is destabilised by positive channel inclination in the stably stratified case. The dependence of the nonlinear wave dynamics on system parameters is also explored.
