✦ Synopsis

Recent advancements in experimental studies of wetting phenomena have helped to bridge the gap between the progress made in theory and simulation over the past decade, and the experimental evidence or verification of the theoretical predictions. These developments include new measurements of the equilibrium thickness of precursor wetting films on solid and liquid substrates and at the liquid/gas interface, experimental studies of critical adsorption, as well as measurements of the dynamics of wetting and spreading and the nucleation of wetting layers in simple and complex systems. There have also been some recent results on dewetting of solid substrates by liquid films. Addresses •'wan-N.-

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

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
