The speed at which a liquid can move over a solid surface is strongly limited when a three-
phase contact line is present, separating wet from dry regions. When enforcing large contact …

A solid withdrawn from a liquid bath entrains a film. In this review, after recalling the
predictions and results for pure Newtonian liquids coated on simple solids, we analyze the …

Interfacial zones between tissues provide specialized, transitional junctions central to
normal tissue function. Regenerative medicine strategies focused on multiple cell types …

The contact angle between a gas–liquid interface and a solid surface is a function of the
dynamic conditions of the contact line. Classic steady correlations link the contact angle to …

Instabilities of receding contact lines often occur through the formation of a corner with a very
sharp tip. These dewetting structures also appear in the technology of Immersion …

We investigate the entrainment of liquid films on a partially wetting plate vertically withdrawn
from a reservoir of viscous liquid using a combination of diffuse-interface numerical …

In this work we show that the forced dynamic dewetting of surfactant solutions depends
sensitively on the surfactant concentration. To measure this effect, a hydrophobic rotating …

A new variational method is proposed to calculate the evolution of liquid film and liquid
droplet moving on a solid substrate. A simple time evolution equation is obtained for the …

Characteristic substrate speeds and meniscus shapes associated with the onset of air
entrainment are studied during dynamic wetting failure along a planar substrate. Using high …

This work investigates the wetting dynamics of cryogenic fluids in inertia-dominated
conditions. We experimentally characterize an oscillating gas-liquid interface of liquid …
