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 …

For several centuries fluid dynamics studies have relied upon the assumption that when a
liquid flows over a solid surface, the liquid molecules adjacent to the solid are stationary …

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 …

Computational methods have been extended recently to allow for the presence of moving
contact lines in simulated two-phase flows. The predictive capability offered by these …

A correlation is suggested for available experimental measurements of the advancing
dynamic contact angle measured through the liquid phase during the displacement of a …

From extensive molecular dynamics simulations on immiscible two-phase flows, we find the
relative slip** between the fluids and the solid wall everywhere to follow the generalized …

Dynamic wetting is an important interfacial phenomenon in many industrial applications.
There have been many excellent reviews of dynamic wetting, especially on super …

A general mathematical model which describes the motion of an interface between
immiscible viscous fluids along a smooth homogeneous solid surface is examined in the …

In immiscible two-phase flows, the contact line denotes the intersection of the fluid–fluid
interface with the solid wall. When one fluid displaces the other, the contact line moves …

It is common knowledge that relatively small drops or bubbles have a tendency to stick to the
surfaces of solids. Two specific problems are investigated: the shape of the largest drop or …
