Abstract
Viscoelastic braking due to the motion of the wetting ridge during spreadin g of a liquid drop on a soft, viscoelastic solid is now established in axis ymmetric conditions where only capillary forces cause motion of the triple wetting (or dewetting) line. We consider here preliminary results where thi s same phenomenon of slowing down prevents rapid flow of the liquid on an i nclined elastomeric plane.
