Numerical Approximation of the Newtonian Film Blowing Problem

Abstract: In this presentation we will discuss the numerical
approximation of a Newtonian model for film blowing. Under small data
assumptions, we show that the approximations for the bubble radius,
and the film thickness, converges to the true solution and establish
the convergence rates. Numerical results supporting the theoretical
convergence rates will also be given.
