Kinetic effects regularize the mass-flux singularity at the contact line of a thin evaporating drop

We consider the transport of vapour caused by the evaporation of a thin, axisymmetric, partially wetting drop into an inert gas. We take kinetic effects into account through a linear constitutive law that states that the mass flux through the drop surface is proportional to the difference between th...
