A generalized model for hydrocarbon drops spreading on a horizontal smooth solid surface

Hydrocarbon drops impacting on a flat solid surface were experimentally and computationally studied to identify the key issues in the dynamics of drop spreading. Three hydrocarbon liquids were tested: diesel, methanol and glycerin. The evolutions of dynamic contact angle and spreading diameter were...
