The effect of surface tension on axisymmetric confined viscous gravity currents

We consider the radial spreading of an axisymmetric viscous gravity current, in which fluid released from a point source at a constant flux is confined vertically to a narrow gap between two horizontal plates. A grounding line forms where the free surface of the current intersects with the top plate...
