In mathematics, the Buckmaster equation is a second-order nonlinear partial differential equation, named after John D. Buckmaster, who derived the equation in 1977.
[1] The equation models the surface of a thin sheet of viscous liquid.
The equation was derived earlier by S. H. Smith and by P Smith,[2][3] but these earlier derivations focused on the steady version of the equation.
