Asymptotic analysis of axisymmetric drop spreading
We study in this paper the time evolution of the spreading process of a small drop in contact with a flat dry surface, using asymptotic techniques. We reduced the problem by solving a quasisteady self-similar macroscopic problem and matched with the precursor region solution, where the van der Waals...

We study in this paper the time evolution of the spreading process of a small drop in contact with a flat dry surface, using asymptotic techniques. We reduced the problem by solving a quasisteady self-similar macroscopic problem and matched with the precursor region solution, where the van der Waals forces are important. A final nonlinear third-order ordinary differential equation has been solved numerically using shooting methods based on the fourth-order Runge-Kutta techniques. We obtained how the capillary number changes when the drop size decreases with time. The evolution process then diverges slightly from that obtained using the spherical cap approximation.
