Free Boundary Propagation of a Thin-Film Equation with Nonlinear Diffusion: Scale-Consistent Methods for Optimal Results
We investigate the free boundary propagation of a non-linear degenerate parabolic problem with both fourth and second order non-linearities, which may be used to model viscous thin-film flow in the regime of weak slippage with an additional contributions from a singular disjoining pressure brought forth by inter-molecu...
