Kinetic drop friction

X Li, F Bodziony, M Yin, H Marschall, R Berger… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Liquid drops sliding on tilted surfaces is an everyday phenomenon and is important for many
industrial applications. Still, it is impossible to predict the drop's sliding velocity. To make a …

Moving contact lines: scales, regimes, and dynamical transitions

JH Snoeijer, B Andreotti - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2013 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Wetting and spreading

D Bonn, J Eggers, J Indekeu, J Meunier, E Rolley - Reviews of modern physics, 2009 - APS
Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …
