Abstract

Local solutions near the intersection of a free surface with a vertical wall are constructed numerically. Both gravity and surface tension are included in the dynamic boundary condition. It was shown that the solutions are characterized by the angle γ between the free surface and the wall at the separation point. There is a solution for each value of π/2<γ<π. As γ→π/2 and γ→π, the solutions reduce to the pure gravity solutions of Vanden-Broeck & Tuck [1].
