Abstract
A mathematical approach to the spreading profile of sessile drops on a smooth rigid surface is presented here. Equations for rate of spreading and the change of contact angle with time have been derived and an approximate solution of the spreading problem has been obtained neglecting surface porosity, capillary forces and gravity. The results are in qualitative agreement with the available experimental data.
