We consider the dynamics of spreading of a small drop over a smooth solid surface. The analysis is concerned with complete wetting and accounts for capillary, viscous, and van der Waals effects, with two spreading geometries considered: cylindrical and axisymmetric. A complete description of the dro

The spreading of a tiny macroscopic drop of a nonvolatile, completely wetting liquid over a flat solid is considered, assuming no gravitation. A liquid, in creeping, is subjected to capillary forces and van der Waals forces. This nonstationary and nonlinear problem in the dynamics of the wetting fil
