Abstract: In present work proposed one method of numeric simulation of viscous fluid spreading over the solid wall under the partial wetting conditions. A boundary condition at the contact line obtained with attraction of the young relation. Submitted results confirm sufficiency of proposed problem formulation and algorithm of numeric solution.

Keywords: spreading, wetting, viscous fluid, dynamic contact angle, contact line.
