On the Dynamic Contact Angle in Capillary Flows [PDF]
Journal of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, 2021 The displacement of the contact line (CL) between two arbitrary immiscible flowing fluids was modeled. The present model is valid for a wide range of viscosity ratios of the phases. This is while the previously developed models reported in the literature
