Finite-time free-surface approach of a point stresslet

ID: finite-time-free-surface-approach-of-a-point-stresslet

A positive-strength parallel point stresslet below a flat shear-free impermeable plane is attracted by its identical reflected image. Its height satisfies and formally reaches zero in finite time. Negative strength reverses the drift. Finite-body near-contact physics lies outside this singularity prediction.
