The surface tension driven merging of two wedge-shaped regions of fluid, and the wetting of a wedge shaped solid, are analyzed. Following the work of Keller and Miksis in 1983, initial conditions are chosen so that the flows and their free surfaces are self-similar at all times after the initial con
A numerical method is used to simulate the motion of inviscid drops colliding and coalescing at a solid surface. The equations of motion are solved by a boundary element method in which the free surface of the drop is represented by a moving grid. The numerical results include the configuration of t
