An Analytical Two-Dimensional Linearized Droplet Shape Model for Combined Tangential and Normal Body Forces

In view of emerging research on forced wetting under complex applied forces, a simple model for a droplet shape evolution is developed here. In particular, the model refers to droplet spreading under quasisteady conditions. The corresponding linearized two-dimensional Young–Laplace equation is solve...
