摘要
The dynamics of a general three-dimensional thin film subject to van der Waals forces, surface tension, and surfactants is considered. Using an asymptotic analysis based upon the thinness of the film with respect to its lateral extent, evolution equations for the leading-order film thicknesses, tangential velocities, and surfactant concentrations are obtained.
