This paper examines the slow flow of a viscous liquid in an open rectangular container, one side (the base) of which moves steadily along its own plane, thereby providing the driving force the liquid needs. Unlike the two vertical sides that are rigid and stationary, the top side is left open so that the upper part of the liquid is in contact with air and is being controlled by surface tension and gravity. A numerical procedure for obtaining solutions for the cases when the capillary numbers are small is provided, and the curves of the free boundaries are presented for some flow parameters.
