We develop adaptive Chebyshev and Fourier-Chebyshev spectral collocation methods for the nonlinear prescribed mean curvature equations used to model the height of a fluid interface. The non-linearity is treated with a Newton’s method. Various geometries and symmetries are considered, and the resulting methods are used to solve the free boundary problems that arise from the equilibrium of a floating drop.
