Abstract

The dynamics of a droplet on a liquid substrate in the case of an inhomogeneous heating from below has been investigated. The problem is studied numerically in the framework of the slender droplet approximation and the precursor model. The change of the stationary droplet’s shape and the rupture of the substrate layer induced by a floating droplet are investigated. The influence of the gravity force on the shape of the droplet is studied.
