Recent hydrodynamic and surface physics models are applied to the rate of advance of liquid glass droplets on a smooth, horizontal surface. A well characterised calcium magnesium aluminosilicate glass was chosen as the fluid. The temperature of the experiments was held above 1275 deg C (1548K) to limit the extent of reaction with the sapphire substrate. Drops were formed in situ during the ramp or using a drop emplacement technique which enabled a closer approach to isothermal conditions.
