We prove the existence of solutions for a coupled system modeling the flow of a suspension of fluid and negatively buoyant non-colloidal particles in the thin film limit. The equations take the form of a fourth-order non-linear degenerate parabolic equation for the film height $h$ coupled to a second-order degenerate parabolic equation for the particle density $ψ$. We prove the existence of physically relevant solutions, which satisfy the uniform bounds $0 ≤ ψ/h ≤ 1$ and $h ≥ 0$.

Keywords: Fourth-order degenerate parabolic equations, existence of weak solutions, thin liquid films, suspensions, multiphase flows.
