Consequently, the dynamics of the contact points between the vessel, the fluid and the dry region are inherently coupled with the surface evolution. A similar contact scenario was recently analyzed for more regular viscous flows, modeled by the Stokes (Guo and Tice, Arch Ration Mech Anal 227(2):767–854, 2018) and Navier–Stokes (Guo and Tice, J Eur Math Soc 26(4):1445–1557, 2024) equations.
