Abstract
The effect of the axisymmetric spreading of a layer of material (oil or solid particles) on the surface of a viscous fluid is studied. Assuming high Reynolds numbers, the boundary layer equation is derived and solved for general power law surface velocities. The composite streamlines show sharp turns near the surface.
