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...
