Inviscid flow within an evaporating sessile drop is analyzed. The field equation E 2 ψ= 0 is
solved for the stream function. The exact analytical solution is obtained for arbitrary contact
angle and distribution of evaporative flux along the free boundary. Specific results and
computations are presented for evaporation corresponding to both uniform flux and purely
diffusive gas phase transport into an infinite ambient. Wetting and nonwetting contact angles
are considered, with flow patterns in each case being illustrated. The limiting behaviors of …
Inviscid flow within an evaporating sessile drop is analyzed. The field equation is solved for the stream function. The exact analytical solution is obtained for arbitrary contact angle and distribution of evaporative flux along the free boundary. Specific results and computations are presented for evaporation corresponding to both uniform flux and purely diffusive gas phase transport into an infinite ambient. Wetting and nonwetting contact angles are considered, with flow patterns in each case being illustrated. The limiting behaviors of small contact angle and droplets of hemispherical shape are treated. All of the above categories are considered for the cases of droplets whose contact lines are either pinned or free to move during evaporation.
