Abstract

We study an example of spreading driven by surface tension gradients, i.e. the climbing of a film on a plane wall against gravity. We show which parameters control the thickness of the film. Moreover, we present a theoretical and experimental study of the crossover between the film and the macroscopic reservoir.
