On thin evaporating drops: when is the d$^2$-law valid?
We study the evolution of a thin, axisymmetric, partially wetting drop as it evaporates. The effects of viscous dissipation, capillarity, slip, and diffusion-dominated vapour transport are taken into account. A matched-asymptotic analysis in the limit of small slip is used to derive a generalization...
