The thin-film equation describes the evolution of a thin liquid film, typically on a solid substrate. This equation is important in fluid dynamics and materials science and is often used in contexts such as coatings, wetting, and thin-film flow dynamics. The thin-film equation can be derived from the Navier-Stokes equations under certain assumptions, specifically when considering a thin film with small thickness compared to its other dimensions.
