## Abstract When a small drop or bubble approaches a solid surface, a thin liquid film forms between them, drains, until an instability forms and coalescence occurs. A hydrodynamic theory is developed for the first portion of this coalescence process: the drainage of the thin liquid film while it i

## Abstract When a small drop or bubble is driven through a liquid phase to a fluid‐fluid interface, a thin liquid film which forms between them drains, until an instability forms and coalescence occurs. Lin and Slattery (1982b) developed a hydrodynamic theory for the first portion of this coalesce
## Abstract The axisymmetric spreading of a thin fluid film with slip at the horizontal base is investigated. A nonlinear diffusion equation is derived which relates the height of the free surface to the slip velocity. The equation possesses a Lie point symmetry provided the slip velocity satisfies
