Abstract
► The spreading of a droplet of power-law fluid is theoretically investigated. ► Classical energy-based approach is used to develop the model. ► A modified capillary number is proposed to characterize the spreading process. ► Experimental results validate the model up to a modified capillary number of 0.1.
