Abstract
A free boundary problem for the Navier-Stokes equations describes the flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid in a domain that is unknown or partially unknown. In this paper several results for flows in drops or in vessels are presented. The free boundary is governed by self-attraction or surface tension, and dynamic contact angles may occur.
