A numerical method for incompressible nonlinear flow is used to study the behavior of a fluid region that has an initial cylindrical lens configuration on a solid no-slip surface. Material contact angles that differ from the initial configuration, and the presence of a body force, produce motion that is calculated in cross section. Spreading rates are determined as a function of viscous to capillary forces.
