Asymptotic analysis of a thin fluid layer flow between two moving surfaces

Analysis of PDEs 2022-03-09 v4

Abstract

In this paper we study the behavior of an incompressible viscous fluid moving between two very close surfaces also in motion. Using the asymptotic expansion method we formally justify two models, a lubrication model and a shallow water model, depending on the boundary conditions imposed. Finally, we discuss under what conditions each of the models would be applicable.
