Rainwater on glass. I find myself wondering what the shape of the boundary curve is optimizing and can I implement a simulation of it?

@dpiponi One idea: model the distribution of the pollutants on the glass (dirt, grease, ...) that modulate the surface tension.

@zwizwa @dpiponi if that were the case, vibrating the plate should not change the shape. I would expect otherwise.

@robryk @zwizwa Good point. Though maybe vibrations move it between local minima.
