We investigate the dewetting of a droplet on a smooth horizontal solid surface using the boundary element method. Specifically, we solve for the axisymmetric Stokes flow with i) the Navier-slip boundary condition at the solid/liquid boundary, and ii) a time-independent microscopic contact angle at the contact line. The profile evolution is computed for different slip lengths and equilibrium contact angles. When decreasing the slip length, the typical non-sphericity first increases, reaches a maximum at a characteristic slip length $\tilde{b}_m$, and then decreases. Regarding different equilibrium contact angles, two universal rescalings are proposed to describe the behavior for slip lengths larger or smaller than $\tilde{b}_m$. Around $\tilde{b}_m$, the early time evolution of the profiles at the rim can be described by similarity solutions. The results are explained in terms of the structure of the flow field governed by different dissipation channels: viscous elongational flows for large slip lengths, friction at the substrate for intermediate slip lengths, and viscous shear flows for small slip lengths. Following the changes between these dominant dissipation mechanisms, our study indicates a crossover to the quasistatic regime when the slip length is small compared to the droplet size. We also provide a phase diagram of the rescaled slip length and the equilibrium angle to demonstrate the appearance, or not, of a global transient bump.< Réduire
