A fluid film is spread by an accelerating rotating disc. After a similarity transform, the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations reduce to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Perturbation solutions for low accelerations compare well with exact numerical solution. There exist non-unique solutions for a given disc rotation. 1.
