Spreading of small liquid drops over thin dry porous layers is investigated from both theoretical and experimental points of view. Drop motion over a porous layer is caused by an interplay of two processes: (a) the spreading of the drop over already saturated parts of the porous layer, which results in an expanding of the drop base; (b) the imbibition of the liquid from the drop into the porous substrate, which results in a shrinkage of the drop base and an expanding of the wetted region inside the porous layer. As a result of these two competing processes, the radius of the drop goes through a maximum value over time. A system of two differential equations is derived to describe the evolution with time of radii of both the drop base and the wetted region inside the porous layer. This system includes two parameters: one accounts for the effective lubrication coefficient of the liquid over the wetted porous substrate and the other is a combination of permeability and effective capillary pressure inside the porous layer. Two additional experiments are used for an independent determination of these two parameters. The system of differential equations does not include any fitting parameter after these two parameters are determined. Experiments were carried out on the spreading of silicone oil drops over various dry microfiltration membranes (permeable in both normal and tangential directions). The time evolution of the radii of both the drop base and the wetted region inside the porous layer are monitored. All experimental data fell on two universal curves if appropriate scales are used with a plot of the dimensionless radii of the drop base and of the wetted region inside the porous layer on dimensionless time. The predicted theoretical relationships are two universal curves accounting quite satisfactorily for the experimental data. According to our theory prediction, (i) the dynamic contact angle dependence on the same dimensionless time as before should be a universal function and (ii) the dynamic contact angle should change rapidly over an initial short stage of spreading and should remain a constant value over the duration of the rest of the spreading process. The constancy of the contact angle on this stage has nothing to do with hysteresis of the contact angle: there is no hysteresis in our system. These conclusions again are in good agreement with our experimental observations.
