    • To enable efficient and stable simulation of complex fluid behaviors on curved surfaces.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a discretization for curvature and advection operators on triangle meshes.
    • Employed a variational approach inspired by smooth surface formulations.
    • Implemented a numerical scheme requiring a single sparse linear solve per time step.
    • Ensured exact preservation of total fluid volume.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method is efficient and stable for simulating fluid film dynamics.
    • It accurately reproduces known phenomena like droplet formation, evaporation, and viscous fingering.
    • The model successfully incorporates van der Waals forces, enabling effects like pearling.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented method offers an effective approach for simulating thin viscous films on complex geometries.
    • It overcomes discretization challenges of high-order PDEs on meshes.
    • The model's ability to preserve volume and capture intricate effects makes it valuable for research and applications.
