The propagation of a liquid drop on a plate is characterized by the evolution of the three-phase contact line where air, liquid and solid meet. The region occupied by the liquid is given by time-dependent domain with non-smooth boundary. We consider well-posedness and regularity for certain evolution models describing the propagation of the liquid. We focus on simplified models we focus on model for fluid propagation in the lubrication approximation.
