โฆ Synopsis
A quasimolecular approach is developed for the modelling of sessile and pendent drops. Fundamental mechanisms of drop formation are formulated in terms of gravity and classical intermolecular type forces. CRAY X-MP/24 computer examples illustrate standing and falling drops, free surface motions, and convergence to equilibrium. The role of temperature in drop configuration modelling is shown to be significant.

This paper presents two algorithms for computing the contact angle of sessile liquid drops given data about the drops. The first yields the contact angle given the volume, surface tension and maximum diameter (or contact diameter) of a single drop. This algorithm is an extension of existing algorith
