Abstract
This theoretical study proposes an analytical model to predict the maximum spread of single droplets on solid surfaces with zero or low Weber and Reynolds numbers. The spreading droplet is assumed as a spherical cap considering low impact velocities. Three spreading states are considered, which include equilibrium spread, maximum spontaneous spread, and maximum spread. Energy conservation is applied to the droplet as a control volume. The model equation contains two viscous dissipation terms, each of which has a defined coefficient. One term is for viscous dissipation in spontaneous spreading and the other one is for viscous dissipation of the initial kinetic energy of the droplet. The new model satisfies the fundamental physics of drop-surface interaction and can be used for droplets impacting on solid surfaces with or without initial kinetic energy.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
