a meshless method namely, discrete least square method (dlsm), is presented in the paper for the solution of free surface seepage problem. in this method computational domain is discredited by some nodes and then the set of simultaneous equations are built using moving least square (mls) shape functions and least square technique. the proposed method does not need any background mesh therefore ...

This paper is concerned with the geometrical shape, wetting length, and contact angle of a microdroplet on a fiber by using the method free energy variation. The governing equation and relevant boundary conditions of the microdroplet were re-derived based on the free energy variation of the droplet/fiber system. The geometrical shape of the droplet was determined as the combination of Legendre’...
