Abstract
Explicit, implicit-explicit and Crank-Nicolson implicit-explicit numerical schemes for solving the generalized lubrication equation are derived. We prove that the implicit-explicit and Crank-Nicolson implicit-explicit numerical schemes are unconditionally stable. Numerical solutions obtained from both schemes are compared. Initial curves with both zero and finite contact angles are considered.
