The rise of a liquid column inside a thin capillary against the action of gravity is a prototypical
example of a dynamic wetting process and plays an important role for applications but also …

We present a fully discrete scheme for the numerical approximation of a moving-boundary
problem describing diffusants penetration into rubber. Our scheme utilizes the Galerkin finite …

Nanoscale extension and refinement of the Lucas-Washburn model is presented with a
detailed analysis of recent experimental data and extensive molecular dynamics simulations …

In this article, we consider rectangular microchannels composed of glass and thin polymeric
walls with different roughness in which opposed walls are of the same material but adjacent …

Wetting dynamics play a major role in many practical applications; however, many
fundamental problems remain unresolved, especially in relation to the dynamic contact …

We explore predictions of two models of one-dimensional capillary rise in rigid and partially
saturated porous media. One is an existing one from the literature and the second is a free …

The true value of the contact angle between a liquid and a solid is a thorny problem in
capillary microfluidics. The Lucas–Washburn–Rideal (LWR) law assumes a constant contact …

Capillary-driven flow of fluids occurs frequently in nature and has a wide range of
technological applications in the fields of industry, agriculture, medicine, biotechnology, and …

We propose a moving-boundary scenario to model the penetration of diffusants into rubbers.
Immobilizing the moving boundary by using the well known Landau transformation …

Flow and transport processes in porous media are relevant for a huge variety of applications
covering all areas of modern society. To describe and predict the relevant processes, it is …
