Abstract

Within the Stokes film approximation, unsteady plane-parallel spreading of a thin layer of a heavy non-Newtonian fluid along an inclined solid surface is studied. The forced spreading regime induced by mass supply is considered. An evolution equation for the film thickness is derived. The group classification problem is solved. Self-similar solution is constructed for the power time dependence on mass supply.
