Can the Reynolds equation foro thin films flows (lubrication) be solved with some of your products?

I am interested in considering lubrication problems. In this regard, I was wondering if these can be solved using some of your solvers.
In particular, I would like to use the thin film approximation, which leads to Reynolds equation:
nabla(rho*h^3/(12mu)*nabla(p)) = rho*v*nabla(h)
where rho=density, mu=dynamic viscosity, h=separation between surfaces, v= surface velocity and p=pressure (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_equation).
This is no longer the standard stokes equation and so it is not standard. I have hence had problems finding a way to solve it. Is there any possibility?
Best regards
Francesc
