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

A description of the entire configuration of liquid drops spreading over a previously wetted solid surface is given in the case of negligible evaporation and small Bond and Weber numbers. Two solutions are developed: an outer one which is valid in the bulk of the drop and an inner solution which app
