✦ Synopsis

ahead and the line curvature has grown, as compared with The continuum description of the equilibrium of small liquid the shape shown in Fig. 3a. Drops with very small volume drops located on a sloping plane is still discussed. The effect of keep an axisymmetric contact line for an arbitrary slope of drop holdup on the contact surface is modeled by describing the the plane.

counteraction of a possible rolling liquid flow. This paper studies

Considering a L/F/S system on which gravity and surface numerically the effect of the contact angle hysteresis, the critical forces act, classic capillary theory [see (2, 3)] assumes the slope angle at which the drop flows out.
