研究成果概要
We used a combination of formal asymptotic methods supported by detailed numerical computations in order to investigate solutions to Cauchy-Dirichlet problems for the porous medium equation on a variety of two-dimensional domains.  Such problems can arise physically from consideration of the spreading dynamics of a thin liquid film, where the boundary of the domain acts as an edge over which the film can drain.

This research was undertaken as part of an international collaboration with Professor J. R. King (UK) and Professor T. P. Witelski (USA).

As an outcome of this work, we highlighted a number of open problems that deserve further rigorous analysis.
