Abstract
The stretching surface is assumed to be stretched impulsively from rest and the effect of inertia of the liquid is considered. Equations describing the laminar flow on the stretching surface are solved analytically by using the singular perturbation technique and the method of characteristics is used to obtain an analytic expression for film thickness. The results show that the final film thickness is independent of the amount of liquid distributed initially and on the initial film thickness be it uniform or nonuniform. It is also shown that the forceful stretching produces quicker thinning of the film on the stretching surface.
