Abstract
The 2D (two dimensional) motion of two symmetric wedges of viscous fluid is determined. The evolution of the fluid is governed by the Stokes equations plus the interfacial boundary conditions including surface tension. A simi larity solution is determined and these equations are solved numerically by using a boundary integral method. Solutions for different wedge angles are found.
