The same approach used by Boender, Chesters, and van der Zanden in the context of an advancing liquid-gas meniscus in a capillary tube is extended to the case of spontaneous spreading of a droplet on an ideal solid surface. The result is an ordinary differential equation for the droplet profile whic

The spontaneous spreading of small liquid droplets on solid surfaces is examined with the objective of developing closed-form expressions for the spreading dynamics, both for the case in which there is complete equilibrium spreading, that is the equilibrium contact angle is Oo, and for the case in w
Moving contact lines are implemented in a volume-of-fluid scheme with piecewise linear interface construction. Interfacial tension is treated as a continuous body force, computed from numerical derivatives of a smoothed volume-of-fluid function. Two methods for implementing the contact angle conditi
The effect of blocking the shift of the contact surface between a liquid drop and a solid body is discussed. The model proposed in (S. D. Iliev, 1997, J. Colloid Interface Sci., 194, 287) is discussed. This equilibrium model considers the resistance to shift by adding an energy to the classical capi
