    A quasimolecular approach is developed for the modelling of sessile and pendent drops. Fundamental mechanisms of drop formation are formulated in terms of gravity and classical intermolecular type forces. CRAY X-MP/24 computer examples illustrates standing and falling drops, free surface motions, and convergence to equilibrium. The role of temperature in drop configuration modelling is shown to be significant.
