Rolling of non-wetting droplets down a gently inclined plane

We analyse the near-rolling motion of non-wetting droplets down a gently inclined plane. Inspired by the scaling analysis of Mahadevan & Pomeau (Phys. Fluids, vol. 11, 1999, pp. 2449–2453), we focus upon the limit of small Bond numbers, where the drop shape is nearly spherical and the internal f...
