Abstract
We study the motion of a droplet evolving by mean curvature with volume constraint and contact angle condition on a half space. We prove the existence of a global-in-time weak solution, called the flat flow. A difficulty arises when we establish the local-in-time equi-boundedness of approximate solutions and a uniform -estimate of multipliers. The difficulty is handled by conducting blowup analysis at a point in contact to a spherical cap with sharp angle.
