Sketch of the drop moving on a viscous liquid. The interface is deformed over the extension b and on a depth ξ. When moving at the velocity V, the drop both pulls and pushes the liquid perpendicularly to the interface, at a velocity u ∼ (ξ/b)V, which generates a viscous horizontal resistance (ξ/b)2ηVb.
