Abstract

The problem of flow separation at a corner which results in a free surface being formed has been investigated using the boundary element method (BEM). The free surface is approximated by a series of analytical functions and solutions are obtained over a wide range of values of the surface tension and fluid flow rates. The contact angle is determined and a comparison with values which have either been assumed, or determined, by previous authors is made and discussed.
