The flow of a liquid film on spin coating is investigated in the case that the fixed volume of a liquid is placed on the center of a stationary disk. Thin film equations that are well approximated when the characteristic length in the vertical direction is much smaller than that in the radial direction (${\varepsilon}{\ll}1$) and have already been proposed in the work of T.-S. Kim & M.-U. Kim (2009), are used. The differential equation that governs the free surface of a liquid when ${\varepsilon}{\ll}1$ and ${\varepsilon}Re{\ll}1$ is also derived. The basic flow is analyzed using the thin film equations and their results are compared to the results of Navier-Stokes equations.
