We study dynamics of ferrofluids in thin-film
configurations. We first spend a considerable
amount of time deriving a basic model to describe
the flow in a limiting case. We then investigate
the magnetization in the fluid, formulate a
differential equation governing the curvature of
the boundary, then finally study a pressure
Poisson equation with a moving boundary.
