sessile drop method [′ses·əl ¦dräp ‚meth·əd]
(fluid mechanics)
A method of measuring surface tension in which the depth and mass of a drop resting on a surface that it does not wet are measured; from this, the shape of the drop and, in turn, the surface tension are determined.

Substituting the respective contact angle values obtained from the sessile drop technique for the various modified MDPE blends and substituting the surface tension value (18) of water as 72.
The investigation will use sessile drop techniques to characterize mold metal interface reactions.
It was found that methods based on static measurements, such as the ring tensiometer and the sessile drop techniques, give values of interfacial tension lower than dynamical methods, such as the drop deformation technique.
