In thermodynamic equilibrium, the contact angle is related by Young's equation to the
interfacial energies. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to measure the equilibrium …

Molecular dynamics (MD) has evolved into a ubiquitous, versatile and powerful
computational method for fundamental research in science branches such as biology …

Contact angle hysteresis is an important physical phenomenon. It is omnipresent in nature
and also plays a crucial role in various industrial processes. Despite its relevance, there is a …

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 …

Surface-tension-driven flows and, in particular, their tendency to decay spontaneously into
drops have long fascinated naturalists, the earliest systematic experiments dating back to …

This is a graduate level textbook in nanoscale heat transfer and energy conversion that can
also be used as a reference for researchers in the develo** field of nanoengineering. It …

▪ Abstract The micromachining technology that emerged in the late 1980s can provide
micron-sized sensors and actuators. These micro transducers are able to be integrated with …

Scientists tend to think in terms of their most familiar models. It is not accidental that the
earliest descriptions of the moving wetting line and its associated dynamic contact angle …

The no-slip boundary condition at a solid-liquid interface is at the center of our
understanding of fluid mechanics. However, this condition is an assumption that cannot be …

An investigation is made into the moving contact line dynamics of a Cahn–Hilliard–van der
Waals (CHW) diffuse mean-field interface. The interface separates two incompressible …
