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 …

Research on wetting phenomena aims to initially understand the underlying physics and
then to fabricate smart, functional surfaces with desirable wetting properties. Special …

In many technological applications, excess solvent must be removed from liquid droplets to
deposit solutes onto substrates. Often, the substrates on which the droplets rest may …

We discuss how a solid textured with well-defined micropillars entrains a film when extracted
out of a bath of wetting liquid. At low withdrawal velocity V, it is shown experimentally that the …

Wetting of permeable substrates by liquids is an important phenomenon in many natural and
industrial processes. Substrate heterogeneities may significantly alter liquid spreading and …

The spontaneous imbibition of liquid in nanopores of different roughness is investigated
using coarse grain molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The numerical model is presented …

We study the static and dynamic wetting of adaptive substrates using a mesoscopic
hydrodynamic model for a liquid droplet on a solid substrate covered by a polymer brush …

We study the dynamics of a colloidal fluid including inertia and hydrodynamic interactions,
two effects which strongly influence the nonequilibrium properties of the system. We derive a …

The null characteristics of hydraulic spool valves change significantly due to solid particle
erosion. In the present work, a numerical model has been established to predict the material …

The hydrodynamic equations for contact line motion are typically amended with different
models to alleviate the stress singularity associated with the no-slip condition on the …
