In this article, we present a theory of macroscopic contact angle hysteresis by considering
the minimization of the Helmholtz free energy of a solid–liquid–gas system over a convex …

Capillary action or Capillarity is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the
assistance of, and in opposition to, external forces like gravity. Three effects contribute to …

This research is motivated by a study of special types of surfaces of revolution, using
methods from differential geometry, elasticity theory and variational calculus. In particular …

In this paper we study a Generalized Willmore flow for graphs and its numerical applications.
First, we derive the time dependent equation which describes the geometric evolution of a …

This PhD dissertation consists of two sections. In the first part of this work, we study a
Generalized Willmore flow equation and its numerical applications. First, we derive the time …
