Liquid spreading ASTP Science DemonstrationWetting and spreading phenomena are significant in a wide variety of processes. This report discusses the results of an ASTP Science Demonstration, 'Liquid Spreading', and compares these results to theoretical predictions. On earth the initial spreading of large liquid drops on solid surfaces is always dominated by gravity; in this demonstration the effect of gravity is greatly reduced so that surface energy forces are the controlling factor.
