Kinetic effects regularize the mass-flux singularity at the contact line of a thin evaporating drop

Saxton, Matthew; Vella, D; Whiteley, JP; Oliver, JM

We consider the transport of vapour caused by the evaporation of a thin, axisymmetric, partially wetting drop into an inert gas. We take kinetic effects into account through a linear constitutive law that states that the ...
