Complex manifolds \(X\) which carry a complex contact structure, i.e., a non-degenerate subbundle \(F\subset T_X\) of the tangent bundle of corank one, appear naturally as twistor spaces over Riemannian manifolds with quaternionic-Kählerian holonomy group. These manifolds have recently gained considerable interest.

Contact-line fluctuations and dynamic wetting
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2019The thermal fluctuations of the three-phase contact line formed between a liquid and a solid at equilibrium can be used to determine key parameters that control dynamic wetting.We use large-scale molecular dynamics simulations and Lennard-Jones potentials to model a liquid bridge between two molecularly smooth solid surfaces and study the positional ...

Dewetting films with inclined contact lines
Physical Review E, 2015A partially wetting plate withdrawn from a liquid reservoir causes the deposition of a liquid film that is characterized by inclined contact lines. It has been experimentally indicated that the normal component of the contact-line velocity relative to the plate remains constant and is independent of the inclination angles, a fact that has never ...

Thermodynamics of soft anisotropic contact lines
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2004Contact lines arising from the intersection of interfaces between liquids and nematic liquid crystals are representative models of soft anisotropic contact lines. This paper presents the thermodynamics of soft anisotropic contact lines and the derivation of the one dimensional (1D) Gibbs–Duhem adsorption equation. Consistency between the 1D Gibbs–Duhem

Contact-Line Problems in Fluid Mechanics
Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1983The types of contact-line problems that arise in fluid-dynamical applications are described and classified. Examples of each type are discussed in terms of the boundary conditions that are used and the singular nature of the solutions that emerge.

Instability mechanism at driven contact lines
Physical Review E, 1993An explanation of the mechanism for the fingering instability at driven contact lines is presented. Semiquantitative predictions for the growth of the fingers as a function of time, the most unstable wavelength, and the initial growth rate are deduced. These predictions are consistent with recent experiments of de Bruyn [Phys. Rev. A 46, R4500 (1992)].
