Thin film flow
Thin film flow is extremely viscous flows, where a discrepancy between the dimensions exist. This flow is governed by the lubrication approximation of the Navier-Stokes equation.

A Mathematical Analysis of the Driving Force of Perivascular Drainage in the Brain
Giles Richardson, Roxana-Octavia Carare (Investigators), Alexandra Diem
The observation that solute drainage in the brain occurs in the reverse direction of the blood flow has for a long time been puzzling for researchers. We developed a simple analytical model that can explain this reverse drainage of solutes and has potential implications for the development of treatment for Alzheimer's Disease.
