Mathematical modelling of droplets climbing an oscillating plane

Recent experiments [P. Brunet, J. Eggers, and R. Deegan, Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 114501 (2007)] have shown that a liquid droplet on an inclined plane can be made to move uphill by sufficiently strong, vertical oscillations. In order to investigate this counterintuitive phenomenon we will derive three d...
