Study of the water film flow along the vertical heater at Reynolds number Re=33 and initial temperature T0=23oC was carried out. Some types of interaction between rivulets on the surface of a heated liquid film were distinguished. It is shown that thermocapillary structures appearance in the heater upper part leads to rivulets deflection and interaction. Keywords: liquid film, thermocapillary instability, regular structures.
